Erich Fromm's afterward to 1984 suggests Yevgeny Zamyatin's We would be the logical next step. Also might try Jack London's The Iron Heel, said to be the first novel of this type. I do have Ayn Rand's Anthem on the shelf, and might pull that one down too.

Any other suggestions, in the dystopian vein?
You keep this up and you're going to end up slitting your wrists. Why not read something happy in-between?
