The better 1984/"Brave New World"

Whereas the two other mentioned works are actually epic (although seemingly tell the story of an individual), this is a real lyric novelle telling the story of one man fighting the doomed fight against all that is impersonal in progress. In addition to some sf/fantasy ideas you get great fiction and high art so I guess it's a good deal.
