Philip K. Dick seems to be pretty good at dystopia: A Scanner Darkly, Man in the High Castle, etc.

But any way, here are a couple of additional dystopian titles: H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau and The Time Machine. And here's a link: Exploring Dystopia.
Have fun.

To add to the question, what about Cyberpunk and Post-apoc titles? Any suggestions? Again, I've read a smattering, but there are probably greater holes in my experience here than in dystopian lit.

"the golden space" by pamela sargent is excellent, but obscure.
if you don't mind reading children's lit (i don't) i'd recommend "the giver" by lois lowry. it won the newberry medal.
also eleni's suggestion is great. i hadn't thought of "the dwarf" as dystopian but i guess it is! it's also funny because it's like reading a novel by nietzsche - if you get a kick out of his polemical style you'll enjoy "the dwarf".

Anyone read Swedish novelist Karen Boye's 1940 book Kallocain? New translation coming on Penguin late this year.
Keen to check out Yoko Ogawa's The Memory Police & Yoko Tawada's The Last Children of Tokyo/The Emissary.
