Thomas M. Disch passed away this 4th of July. I hear I should add at least one of his works to The Big List. Is anyone familiar with his novels? Which one/s should I pick up, which have the most dystopian bent?
Both of those are good but I would suggest you look at The Genocides - one of my favorites and it fits well into your Dystopic path.
"Disch's brief 1965 novel finds Earth's cities demolished and the surface overrun by a species of alien flora that grow as high as 600', which are draining off the world's water supply and threatening human existence. A Midwest farmer and small group, however, are devising a plan to do a little weeding."

Right after I saw that he passed away and posted the comment on your other post, I looked up some of his work.
"Camp Concentration" and "334" were the two that jumped off his resume. I may try to read one or both sometime this week.
Yeah, I'm thinking Camp Concentration may be the winner.

"Camp Concentration" and "334" are both good choices, with "Camp" probably better by a nose.
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of suggestion I'm looking for.
