Nice!

Another dystopian novel I recommend is Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Great list so far! You should also check out The Little Prince and Watership Down for some dystopian Children’s lit.

The Wanting Seed — 5 years ago

I just finished “The Wanting Seed” and it was absolutely a unique utopia/dystopia novel. Check it out, if you like this kind of thing, you are missing out by now reading it. Oh, and it def. hits home with the current “War on Terror” situation.. ha.

The Republic — 5 years ago

Where’s Plato’s Republic, which formed the inspiration for a lot of these? :)
