The last dystopia I've read. This was recommended by russian anons. The main difference your books and this one is between ideologies of authors. 1984 and 451 is embodiment of vicious totalitarianism while The Space Merchants representation of venal capitalism.

Cmon, I opened the thread to say this and it's first post?

Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go is dystopic in a sense

The Hunger games

This is such a tired comparison, anon. I'm disappointed in you.

Shades of Grey (NOT Fifty Shades Of Grey) by Jasper Fforde. Set a very long time after an unspecified cataclysmic event, society is now structured around an autocratic government and a caste system where your caste is determined by which color you can see. People can generally only see one color and colors are ranked in order of prestige. The book is very funny but also in the end very dark. I loved it, in part because it was just so unusual, but also because it so cleverly mocked the often quite arbitrary bases of human social status.

Nightfall by Isaac Asimov (the novel), basic concept is a world used to eternal sunshine experiencing darkness for the first time. Blew my mind.

Is The Man in the High Castle actually good? I've heard the show sucks a fat chode but I feel like it's just /pol/.
>>
>>8071143
The setting is great, but everything else is weak.

Dick also comes across as a proto-weeaboo.

>>8067943
Holy shit me too

Read this as well and really enjoyed it. Also you could try 'The Machine Stops' by E.M. Forester.
