Brave new world (origineel 1932; editie 1977)

1. 592
   1984 door George Orwell (chrisharpe, zasmine, MinaKelly, li33ieg, haraldo, Ludi_Ling)

   zasmine: For Orwell was inspired by it. And Orwell's 1984 is as much of a prize as it.

   li33ieg: 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451: 3 essential titles that remind us of the need to keep our individual souls pure.

   Ludi_Ling: Really, the one cannot be mentioned without the other. Actually, apart from the dystopian subject matter, they are very different stories, but serve as a great counterpoint to one another.

2. 372
   Fahrenheit 451 door Ray Bradbury (phoenix7g, meggyweg, Babou_wk, haraldo)

   Babou_wk: Contre-utopie, société future où l'unique but de la vie est le bonheur. Toute pratique requérant de la réflexion est bannie.

   We door Yevgeny Zamyatin (hippietrail, tehran)

   hippietrail: The original dystopian novel from which both Huxley and Orwell drew inspiration.

8. 61
   Laat me nooit alleen door Kazuo Ishiguro (sanddancer)
9. 40
   Het verhaal van de dienstmaagd door Margaret Atwood (mcenroeucsb)

   mcenroeucsb: Both are benchmarks for dystopian literature.

10. 40
    De dag der dagen door Ira Levin (KayCliff)
11. 40
    The Machine Stops door E. M. Forster (artturnerjr)

    artturnerjr: If you read only one other dystopian SF story, make it this one (well, you should read 1984, too, but you knew that already, didn't you?).

12. 30
    Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang door Kate Wilhelm (rat_in_a_cage)

    rat_in_a_cage: Hinweis auf Rückentext bei »Hier sangen früher Vögel«.

    De grote pianola door Kurt Vonnegut (Anonieme gebruiker)
