More of a short story than a novel, but I liked "The machine stops" by Forster.

In Canada it is now mandatory to pay your respects to Islam, but Christianity is against the law.
You can also be arrested if people decide to attack you. This is causing a public disturbance if you are attacked.

Cats Cradle by Vonnegut is more or less a dystopia, despite being satirical. Great read, it’s typically shadowed by some of his more well known works like slaughterhouse five.

Highly unrealistic and naive idea of a dystopia.

Brave new world was more spot on, since Huxley (and his relatives) was part of the new world order which was pushing *the* "progressive agenda"(transhumanism, multiculturalism and technocracy). People think of him as this big brain, high-IQ prophet but the truth is that he was an insider hence giving him knowledge of the things to come.

Arguably a more accurate/relevant vision of the dystopian future than Orwell
