If you thought Rama was mind-boggling, the Ringworld is over 900,000 miles in width and has a surface area of millions. of the Earth. Other members of the expedition include an eight-foot-tall, cat-like figure with an appetite for war, and Teela Brown, a woman whose ancestral heritage (comes from a long line of “birth lottery” winners) may have developed a trait that makes him a human luck charm.

184-834
George Orwell
Don’t be fooled by the title; The proud, totalitarian regime has so much rewritten history in Orwell’s masterpiece that a new one cannot be instituted in 1984. It can be any year that you want to believe. Winston Smith used Big Brother not as a writer of history, but as a re-writer of history. and edited Stranger love and curiosity and the desire for freedom are certain ways to find yourself “left out” (that is, erased from history) and it just so happens that these are the three characteristics that Winston suffers from.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Philip K. Dick
Only Stephen King has had more book adaptations than Philip K. Dick. Like Rex, few PKD adaptations are really good (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly), but many of them are bad (Next, Paycheck, Screamers). In this story, PKD imagines a future in which the world is dangerously polluted and the lucky humans have moved to the planet Mars. Rick Deckard is not one of those lucky people. He lives on Earth and hunts down androids who have rebelled against their slavery.
