Post ITT books which gave commentary on current social affairs, past or present, or are made to mirror or allude to disastrous events which happened in real life.
I'll start.
>warns about totalitarian governments during a time when western intellectuals were considering communism as a viable alternative to democracy
>details how people can be mentally broken into submission practically becoming puppets

Please stop posting about 1984. It doesn't need an entire thread devoted to it, let alone 3.

I was not aware that there were three threads going on about 1984 right now. I didn't post the other two. This thread is not devoted to 1984, it is just my best example.
