– A Handmaid’s Tale by Atwood
– A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
– The Last Man by Mary Shelley
– The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (despite inspiring the tirade of mediocre dystopia YA novels, the trilogy is amazing)
This last one is debatable, and not a typical dystopia novel (although I argue it is one): The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I’ve read this book over a 6 month period but I finished it today. It’s really short I was just lazy. Dude goes berzerk with a flamethrower.

Check out Station Eleven. That’s a really interesting take on the dystopian genre.

Kallocain by Karin Boye. It’s a dystopian novel written pretty much right between Brave New World and 1984, so if you read those two it’s especially interesting to see her take on it.
