Some of my favorite obscure books are -What Not by Rose MACAULAY (all caps just because I pasted it). It's a dystopian future book written during WW1. I've read that it's a inspiration for clockwork orange, 1984, and brave new world but much less well…
on “Ask HN: What are the best unknown books you have read?” ↗To anyone who like dystopian books I find that the most succinct of the early genre is Rose Macaulay's What Not. It's a little harder to parse then the others because it was written in world war 1. I think it's really interesting as the earliest example I've found of this kind of story telling.
