I am looking for fiction books where the message is explicitly socialist or anti capitalist, sorta like Animal Farm, but against Capitalism.

Not really required, but it would be helpful if those books have easily accessible PDF copies of it.

Thanks in advance.

Not necessarily pro-socialist or anti-capitalist, but I just finished Fahrenheit 451, and it was a good antifascist book. It’s short and a great read.

Octavia Butler is great. Parable of the Sower is a good distopian story about climate apocalypse, late stage capitalism, and dialectics. Kindred is also great. Wild seed was ok but not as good as the others. I can’t speak for the rest of her writing, but I’m sure it’s great.

I’ve heard Thomas Pynchon is good, and he’s good at para political metaphors and such.

Here’s my list of fiction I need to read if you want more:

Rules:

  1. Books from all tendencies are allowed. Please don’t downvote something just because it’s from somebody that you dislike.
  2. However, the general rule against sectarianism still applies here. A writing that takes a potshot at others every now and then is acceptable. Outright polemics dedicated to denouncing other tendencies belong elsewhere.
  3. No linking to online book stores.
  4. No memes or videos.
