It Can’t Happen Here – Sinclair Lewis (1935)

1984 – George Orwell (1949)

 Huxley predicted a world driven by genetic engineering, consumerism, and pleasure. A society distracted by comfort and entertainment sounds all too familiar now.

 Bradbury imagined a world where books are banned and minds are dulled by screens. With social media overload and declining reading habits, this future is coming close.

Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury (1953)

 Before smartphones and data tracking became everyday concerns, Feed imagined brain implants connecting people to a digital feed flooded with ads and media—like living inside the algorithm.

 Feed – M.T. Anderson (2002)

We – Yevgeny Zamyatin (1924)
