I’m nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

Jennifer Government by Maxx Barry. In fairness I read it 20 years ago and do not know how it’s aged. It was good back then though.

I read it about 10 years ago and I found it good then 🤷‍♂️

I was going to recommend the same. I remember reading it like fifteen years ago and enjoying it.

I read that a few months ago. Still good!

Do you remember the NationStates site that was set up to help promote the book? Admittedly, I’ve never read it but I spent hours and hours playing on that. Thanks for reminding me of this, will add to my list!
