Really? I’d say 1984 is the new standard.

Joseph Heller, the author of "Catch-22", got his inspiration from an even older book. "The Good Soldier Švejk" ('Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka za světové války', literally 'The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk During the World War') was written by Jaroslav Hašek, a Czech author, satirist, anarchist and practical joker extraordinaire. You can find it in English translations - the best one done by Zdeněk Sadloň and Emmit Joyce, in three volumes. Joseph Heller said that if he'd never read "Švejk", he never would have written "Catch-22". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Soldier_%C5%A0vejk
