We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
4.0

We is one of those works that gets better in my mind the more removed I am from reading it. I think a part of this is due to the ending of the novel and how it haunts my memory. But We scared me, just like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, A Clockwork Orange, and The Handmaid's Tale did simply because I can actually trace lines, connect things together, that lead to a dystopian future presented in We (and those other works I mentioned) becoming quite plausible and less theoretical.
