I totally agree...George Orwell was a genius! Make sure to also read his amazing book "Homage to Catalonia" about the Spanish Civil War and then watch the great movie "Land and Freedom" by British director Ken Loach (most of his political movies are pretty good!), which is loosely based on Orwell`s book.

Another collection of amazing books are the works of Hermann Hesse. He was a German author (1877-1962) but I heard he`s even quite popular over there in the USA and apparently the English translations are actually pretty good.
His best known novels are "Steppenwolf" and "Siddhartha", which I can highly recommend, along with his other novels (he wrote about a dozen books).
