I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned "Brave New World" so far. IMHO, much closer to actual reality than 1984.

Might be. I must admit, that I do not know Brave New World as good as 1984.
Might be, that there are more exact descriptions of our future around. But one thing I think is dominant and alarming: The "free" world does not converge to a system of even rights and freedom for all, but into a new system of control and inequality, that might in turn even top the system of the middle ages.
