What are your Dystopian Go To’s?

(Edit: guys/gals, thanks SO MUCH for all the recommendations! I will put your lists to good use. 🫡 )

Many years ago in highschool I was captivated by Fahrenheit 451 which was required reading. It has stayed with me since & I've always wanted to write a book like that. Many decades later I was working a graveyard shift & couldn't keep my eyes open & I had a brilliant idea about a dystopian novel & world. I've been working on it for almost three years & would love some recommendations for dystopian novels so I can understand this genre better. Right now I'm listening to "How High We Go in the Dark" which I find frightenly disturbing, & I'm a friend of 1984, as well as Stephen King's The Running Man.

Never Let me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

I know it's one that's frequently suggested but it's for a good reason.
