BronxNerd Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 1984 by George Orwell, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradubury, and, my favorite, Animal Farm by George Orwell!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fdoyle11 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'm completely serious when I say that I interpret Dante's Inferno is the first dystopia, even though that clearly isn't what Dante meant by it. My favorite is Brave New World, because it's actually happening.I've read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut and he's really poignant.I'm still planning to read Walden 2.

nuka Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 1984 and the Handmaid's Tale.. sooo good. i'm so glad we have these two books for our exam texts.the third one is One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. it's okay, but i prefer the other two. there are more similarities.

jaydub Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Oryx and Crake is my favourite. Margaret Attwood really knew what she was doing with her dystopias Oryx and Crake is my favourite dystopian page turner too. Atwood seamlessly addresses so many significant contemporary issues including the environment, genetic engineering, sex trafficking, TNCs etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
max0005 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Now, hoping it isn't a big issue if I'm answering to quite an old topic...I'd put in this category 1984, Ugglies Trilogy (Scott Westerfeld - Not "Extras", though, because it didn't fit in with the previous ones at all!), "The Giver" by Louis Lowry (One of my three favorite books, sequels excluded) and possibly Farenheit 451, although I didn't particularly love it.Happy Easter! ;D Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
