Member recommendations:

ivan.frade recommends Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler, "Both books talk about revolution and the people, individual rights vs. common wellness. "darkness at noon" is pretty similar to 1984, without the especulation/science-fiction (see more) ingredient."

infiniteletters recommends The Children's Story by James Clavell

JFDR recommends Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, "1984's Big Brother is Little Brother's namesake."

KayCliff recommends Love among the ruins : a romance of the near future by Evelyn Waugh

aubade recommends Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell, "The basis of Orwell's views on Communism, fascism and totalitarianism"
