Dystopia/Utopia books

I love them. I've read several books that take place in utupian and dystopian worlds. Books such as Brave New World, 1984 and The Handmaids Tale are a few of my favorites. I would like to hear your opinions on any of these types of books, and I'd also like some suggestions for other books under this topic that I haven't read yet!

Of the books you have listed, I have only read 1984. I thought it was a great book. But I was wondering if you could tell me if that scenario in the book is possible to occur in real life, possibly the future. I don't know much about this topic and you, Johnny, are a freaking genius about this kind of stuff.

So basically I am asking, is a 1984ish setting possible in the future? If so, when?

I've read two of those. The Handmaid's Tale is exceptionally creepy...it could easily happen now. It was also extremely enjoyable but it took a while for it to get me hooked. Brave New World was okay, while it was a classic I was only hooked during certain parts. I'm more of a scientific kind of guy so I was more interested in how machines and other things worked in BNW then the actual society itself. I found myself day dreaming about all sorts of stuff from it.

I wasn't, on the whole, taken with Brave New World.

I pay more attention to my emotional attachment to a character, and I couldn't develop much of a connection with any of them in the novel. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't read it again unless prompted by assignment.
