The first three you mentioned, I've already read. I'd add to taht list:
*) Fahrenheit 451 *) Brave New World *) (maybe...) A Clockwork Orange

All the others, I'll be sure to check out as soon as I can

I believe taht what these books do (and the whole genre...) is coat up in
"sci-fi" a commentary of how crooked and flawed humanity is. It doesn't matter
how much tech you throw over it, people will be mean to people (and
corporations to the common public), in the end.

Islas Malvinas, siempre Argentinas!
