1984, Brave New World, and Farenheight 451 are a sort of spiritual trilogy of a dystopian modern-day future with differing takes on the specifics.
All three regarded as among literature's best, so a 99p deal is as good a place to start as any if you're curious.
Edit: Slaughterhouse Five is also 99p, The Man In The High Castle is 99p, Contact is 99p.

Brave new world and especially 1984 is happening today. BNW has us all in a world of consumption and distraction. (Just like this website)
1984s 1st 3rd of the book is rewriting history in favour of the winners. Were a population forgets its own history, while it's liberties are ground under foot
A population won't be concerned with its civil rights being take away. It won't look up from the screen long enough to even notice
