Pretty self explainatory, I want to read a book that is truly engaging, not that uncommon, and that isn't 1984 (I've read it already) or brave new world (read that too).
* Fahrenheit 451
* Make Room, Make Room (Soylent Green)
* A Clockwork Orange
* Lord of the Flies
* Animal Farm
Then, there’s a wider range:
* Cormac McCarthy: The Road
* Octavia Butler: The Parable of the Sower
* Margaret Atwood: Oryx and Crake
* Stephen King: The Stand
* Jose Saramago: Bllindness
* PD James: The Children of Men
* Neal Stephenson: Seveneves
* MR Carey: The Girl with All the Gifts
* Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go
* Peng Shepard: The Book of M
* Emily St. John Mandel: Station Eleven
* Kurt Vonnegut: Cat’s Cradle
* William Gibson: Neuromancer
* Neal Stephenson: Snow Crash
* Justin Cronin: The Passage; The Ferryman
* Paolo Bacigalupi: The Windup Girl; Ship Breaker
* Alan Moore: V for Vendetta
* David Brin: The Postman
