I'm reading Animal Farm by George Orwell - just finished 1984 ;__; it was amazing, In my mind, f.451 and ClockworkOrange are in the same universe - and the chronology is:

C.Orange first - one of the other two spoke of 'violence in the past' - I feel like C.O. is most like our society today - with oblivious and hedonistic youth; Then would be F.451 - which is again, like our day - but with more extremist control; luxury based capitalism with secret war undertones - and then moving into 1984 where there is a polar shift from capitalism to ingsocialism and more complete control from another angle.
