Oh, I forgot one that is really good.

Again I wouldn’t classify this as sci fi, but it is certainly dystopian like 1984 and as we all know nobody does dystopia better than the Brits.

“The Children of Men” by PD James.

Another great read, takes you completely out of yourself, into another world. I’d have a few quibbles with the author about this and that, but I would re-read this book and I don’t say that about too many that are not murder mystery brain candy.

Children of Men is also surprising in that several of these books are only on the list because they were well known movies -- which like PD James' title -- had little [if anything] to do with the book.
