any of the above. Though I obviously have a strong interest in political fiction/non-fiction, i'm open to anything.

[spartafc]

If your up too it try, The society of the spectacle -Guy debord...

yeah, this is on my to-read list. I might check it out.

i would definitely say Marxism After Marx by David Mclellan

[D_Bokk]

As far as fiction goes...

1984 by George Orwell
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Jennifer Government by Max Barry

(A series, but not necessarily needed to be read in order)
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card (I haven't read yet, but I've liked all the others so I'm assuming it's just as good.)

Orwell and Barry are both very political. While the Ender's series is more so Science Fiction, but they do hint at some interesting governments that I wish they would go into more detail with. However, I think Ender's Hegemon might go into great detail of the government, but I haven't read that yet.

the book by guy debord is awesome, yet hard to understand...one might want to start with 'revolution of everyday life' by venigiam.....debord's brother in arms!!!
yet either way they are both interesting and challenging.

America by John Stewart

[Phalanx]

For more of a philosophical view on the future of the world, try Collapse by Jared Diamond. It's really an excellent read and provides insight on how wasteful societies like the US can have on the earth.

[JazzRemington]

A Clockwork Orange
Ulysses
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Do Androids Dream of Electric SHeep

You can probably get that off Revolution's website (Don't know the adress) because all it is is a collection of article from 1999, so it is a little out of date.
