   • Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Buy on Amazon. While it was published in 1949, this famous work is predictably set in 1984. Orwell’s world foresees only three continental-sized nations, at least one of which is overseen by an ubiquitous, watchful government.
   • Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Buy on Amazon. Set in a world that many of us avid readers would find nightmarish, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is the story of Guy Montag, a “fireman” who is becoming disillusioned with his job — to put it simply, he’s assigned to set fire to books, rather than put fires out.
   • The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Buy on Amazon. In this once-futuristic world — the book was published in 1985 about the near future — America is taken over by a religious sect, and the order of the country is pushed back several centuries.
   • The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Buy on Amazon. In contrast to the well-crafted orders we’ve encountered thus far, The Road transports us to a universe shattered by an unnamed catastrophe.
