    hey there, benfal. i haven't read the whole thread, but hope that my advice doesn't just repeat what others have said.

    basically, what the books you've mentioned all have in common is that they treat questions of utopia and dystopia (which happens to be what i wrote my thesis about).

    if you're interested in this kind of literature, i have a few recommendations for you:

    zamyatin's we
    moore's utiopia

    and, more importantlly, in film (where the concept of utopia and dystopia eventually found its natural home):

    la haine
    blade runner
    logan's run
    a clockwork orange
    etc.

    i suppose you get the jist...
