This is my first post on the site, I was wondering if anybody could recommend any books or authors that have a silimar theme to George Orwell's writings? I really want to broaden my knowledge and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Anything by Trostky, lol just kidding. Seriously though, try Huxley's A Brave New World. You could even try Thomas Moore's Utopia for a stretch.
English is the only language in which you can pronounce the word phet as "fish." Use the ph in ephermeral, the e in women, and the t in caution.

thank you i really appreciate the guidance, im icthing to learn more!
You can also try We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin, or Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit. Both of them have important differences with 1984, but have some similar things as well.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is another dystopian novel.

Definitely go with Ray Bradbury's Feherenheit 451 . I just read it for the first time this week and it's excellent. Quite similar in many ways to Orwell, also. Especially to 1984.
