i read 1984. good read. definitely autocratic government dystopia. though if you want something now-realistic look up huxley vs orwell
huxley's thing is corporation power and control via persuasion rather than orwell's government power and control via fear
people tend to be paranoid of the government gaining power and enslaving us all like orwell presents- because of that people tend to miss the power of the corporations
in this case that'd be twitter!
oh well. pick your poison
