If you liked George Orwell's 1984, I strongly recommend reading Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, which inspired it. According to Wikipedia, it was the first book banned in Soviet Union. Unlike 1984 it is less directly political; it describes a dystopian society based on "straw-Vulcan" rationality. (Also, Pet Shop Boys made a song about it.)
