Good stuff.
Personally, I think Anthony Burgess's Clockwork Orange and The Wanting Seed are THE most prophetic of the novels which set out to depict our "future".

Never read F.451, though Brave New World is one of my favorites. I'm re-reading Alas, Babylon right now.

I will meet you in the wilderness to read the banned works of William F Buckley and Mark Steyn
