What about Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale? It's more like Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 than Brave New World, but still clearly dystopian.

The Iron Heel by technique of Jack London Mallcity14 by technique of Shaun A. Saunders Kallocain by technique of Karin Boye We by technique of Yevgeny Zamyatin (very underrated; alongside the lines of 1984) it would want to't happen right here by technique of Sinclair Lewis Gun, With Occasional music by technique of Jonathan Lethem and entire wide international by technique of Paul McAuley are 2 others that are reminiscent of 1984 with reference to authorities surveillance and administration.

Well I'm guessing that top one was drunk or high or wanted to look that way. Seriously though you can't top 1984, and I think that is part of why you don't hear of stories like that now. That and people nowadays just don't get these stories. They are meant to be a warning. People take **** way too serious though. That is why they tend to make these stories come true.

Add "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, "Logan's Run" and "Logan's World" and "THX 1138" to your list. You could also add "The Caves of Steel" by Asimov and "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card and "Starship Troopers" by Heinlein. Each shows a future society that is disfunctional when compared to our own.

The novel "We" by Evgeniy Zamyatin is often compared with "1984"

Try Uglies by Scott Westerfeid and its sequels "Pretties" and "Specials"
It is about how the future will be if we continue with our path to beauty via plastic surgery. Very Very interesting.

And there was one about space and , Gattaca that was a good one.
