I'm nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

This is almost the opposite of a dystopia, but I think still fits.

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin - A character from a utopia returns to dystopian earth. It's primarily the main character wandering around realizing how terrible things could get on our current trajectory. It's great!

Anarres is a utopia? Don’t tell Shevek that.
