I'm nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

Yeah I've got the first Revelation Space book waiting for me to open it up, there's just so much out there to read.

If we are talking sci fi dystopias, I'd say Altered Carbon and its sequels are compelling. Skip the Netflix show. We both seem to like military sci fi, and that series has that aspect in spades.

If you haven't read Gibson's stuff after Neuromancer, you might like that too.

His writing is very male

Lol his writing is very phallic? I think I know what you mean.
