I have always liked reading dystopian literature. Perhaps that is because it agrees with my generally pessimistic view of civilisation and where it is headed. Anyhow, having reread Brave New World earlier this year, and having just finished rereading Zamyatin's We, I have decided to complete what has always been for me the triumvirate of dystopian literature and reread 1984. Does anyone have any other suggestions of good dystopian literature of which I may be unaware?

Netochka Nezvanova by Dostoevsky is an extremely bad time, if not distopian.
-sparky.
The two Atwood novels: Handmaid's Tale and Oryc & Crake. Also most of Philip K. Dicks like Man In the High Castle or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
would 1984 qualify to be dystopian???
