Outside of the big ones, which dystopian novels do you suggest? Which are most realistic?

I haven't read it in a million years, but I recall We (I think by Zamyatan) feeling very real in a way that none of the other well known ones did.

I think that book is non-fiction, so it's a-okay in my book, especially given that it's contentious to the mainstream narrative. Someone putting PhD in their name of a fiction book is a different story.

Napoleon of Nottinh Hill. Fun fact: NONH, wrote in 1904, is set in 1984. Arthur Blair, who would later become George Orwell, had his first writing job at GK Chestertons paper.
