Don't forget a Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
Breve New World is probably the most overrated Huxley book. Island is a much better summation of Huxley’s final perspective, and it is about as far from Brave New World as you can get. That said, I think BNW is still a good book, but it shouldn’t be seen as Huxley’s greatest work, nor did he see it as such.
I'll have to read it than, I've only read a Brave New World.
I haven't read that one yet, but I bought it for my Kobo yesterday.
It's good, a far more likely scenario than 1984. They use something other than terror to keep everyone in line. Definitely worth the read.
