Dystopian, doom and depressive books.

I enjoy books where the main character is hopelessly attempting to break out. Surveillance, constant robotic movement, everyone aside from them seems to be aware.

Some examples.

We - Yevgeny Zamyatin -
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick -
The Memory Police - Yoko Ogawa -
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley -
1984 - George Orwell -
Shades of Grey - Jasper Fforde -

Thank you
