Hey /lit/! Coming over from /co/ to ask you something.
What are your favorite dystopian novels?
Pic's related, it's my favorite dystopian movie, but I dunno what I should read when it comes to dystopian novels. I've read the classics, 1984, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, Fahrenheit 451 and We, and still need to read A Clockwork Orange, but I don't think I know any beyond that. I'd also love to see some recent takes on the matter.

Not the best, but deserves more recognition.

hi there! just a polite request to choose other words to insult fools like this. consider avoiding words that are bigoted slurs that contribute to a culture of prejudice. think about the words you use! thanks so much!

Thank you! There are so many ways to insult people, there's no reason to use words that perpetuate prejudice and bigoted hate against entire groups of people.
