Recommendations for less known dystopian novels? In two days I've read A Clockwork Orange, 1984, and A Handmaid's Tale, and I need more. Preferably oppressive governments or strange new societies vs. apocalyptic scenarios.

Zamyatin's "We", sort of inspired Orwell to write 1984 (no kidding)

Brave New World, more strange new society than oppressive government, and imo way more relevant to our society

Don't go ordering a whole stack of these, OP. You'll grow out of it before you have time to read them all.

Brilliant suggestion. Currently reading it, I believe it is a bit dated but the dwellings into love, privacy and soul are very entertaining and thought provoking
