They’re called classics for a reason, so far be it for me to take a shot at one of them. I haven’t read many of this genre, but among the ones I have read, I’d say 1984— only because Orwell was off on the date by 40 years. Otherwise, it seems we may be well on our way to the dystopian tone and feel he was describing, especially now that what’s-his-name was re-elected in 2024 and has resumed his derelict reign, and AI is causing people some anxiety.
