1984 and Atlas Shrugged are the two books that most represent today's situation.
1984 represents very well the social manipulation through language and distortion of reality.
For example, mRNA gene treatments have been called vaccines. Wars are called liberation operations, plunder is called solidarity, invaders are called immigrants and so on and so forth.
The ministry of truth has also been created in many countries to combat "hoaxes", that is to say, to combat the truth.
On the other hand Atlas Shrugged captures very well the economic reality of western countries, subsidies are given to those who do not want to work discouraging work, private property is not protected, homeowners are forced to rent their properties and at the price the government says, thousands of stupid laws are passed that prevent trade and free market, and most importantly, a minority supports a majority.
Either we isolate ourselves from this crap and let them kill each other, or they will finish us off.
