Good Dystopian Books?

Question

Do you know of any good dystopian books? I have to read for school and these are the only kind of stories that interest me

Answer 1

Caesar's Column by Ignatius Donnelly

The Iron Heel by Jack London

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (Also published under the title Utopia-14.)

Answer 2

^^1984 and Brave New World (not so much Animal Farm)

plus:

Fahrenheit 451, A Clockwork Orange, Neuromancer, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Man in the High Castle, Naked Lunch.

There's tons, but that's all I can think of for now.  And yeah, as you can see, dystopian fiction has more or less become a subgenre of science fiction.
