I've read 'Darkness at noon'[1] at year ago or two. It's one of the books Orwell was heavily influenced by. It's about Stalin's Russia and it's amazing. Same topic, total gov control.

- igravious 12y agoSecond 'Darkness at Noon'. A very powerful read. By Arthur Koestler 1940. Orwell's 1984 was published in 1948, wasn't it?
- atmosx 12y agoWell yeah, wikipedia says 1949 but 6 months up or down doesn't change much.. About DaN[1]: 'In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Darkness at Noon at number eight on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.' Although the depth of thought and analysis of the 'soviet regime' was impressive, I had no idea it was that highly praised novel.
