I recommend everyone read “1984” by George Orwell.

Or, listen to the audio book.

@Ratoncita
Other notables:

Brave New World
Animal Farm
Fahrenheit 451

@Ratoncita it was required reading in 9th grade English when I went to high school. We also read Animal Farm

@Ratoncita

Or experience it live!

The problem is, we have a class of billionaire oligarchs who think they're the Alphas in Brave New World, and then there's the 99.9% of us who are the Proles in 1984…

Also the recent 'Prophet Song' by Paul Lynch - an ordinary Irish family's life falls apart when a fascist political party takes over the government. You really feel how easily it can happen, and how harrowing it will be if it does.
