It's for a research thing. Basically anything that came after George Orwell's 1984 and has similar themes – government abusing its power, media manipulation, ultra nationalism etc. etc.
I've been able to find stuff that predates 1984, like Brave New World, but I've been having trouble finding good stuff that comes after it. Any suggestions you got, or places where you think I could look for suggestions, I'd be happy and grateful to hear.

Love among the ruins by Evelyn Waugh
John Wyndham’s later novels were post 1984 I think? The Chrysalids, etc.
A clockwork orange by Burgess
High rise by J G Ballard
Okay so this is from 2008, so not exactly what you’re looking for by The Declaration YA trilogy by Gemma Malley fits the other parts of your description.
Take a look at John Christopher. He wrote many dystopian books, some for adults and some for children/YA. His most famous book is probably The Death of Grass (aka No Blade of Grass).
