   Hello Pablo Gener!   
      
    PG> The first three you mentioned, I've already read. I'd add   
    PG> to taht list: *) Fahrenheit 451 *) Brave New World *)   
    PG> (maybe...) A Clockwork Orange   
      
   I've read those 3 and have seen various movie versions of them     
   too.   
      
      
    PG> All the others, I'll be sure to check out as soon as I can   
      
   The **"The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster** is an interesting   
   tale. Apparently it's the earliest known mention of an imagined   
   "internet" in print.  It is set in a world where humanity lives   
   underground and relies on "the machine" for all its needs.  It   
   predicts instant messaging and the internet; that's pretty   
   interesting for something published 115 years ago.   
      
      
    PG> I believe taht what these books do (and the whole   
    PG> genre...) is coat up in "sci-fi" a commentary of how   
    PG> crooked and flawed humanity is. It doesn't matter how much   
    PG> tech you throw over it, people will be mean to people (and   
    PG> corporations to the common public), in the end.   
      
   Many genres allow the author to imagine consequences and     
   outcomes of good/bad human behaviour. Some writers are fine     
   philosophers.
