The other two probably do deserve to be there but they're not as iconic as Nineteen Eighty-Four. Just look at the number of Goodreads ratings they have... Nineteen Eighty-Four - 1,463,928 Animal Farm - 1,475,893 Fahrenheit 451 - 849,173 Brave New World - 797,587 It's pretty clear that George is the king of Dystopia.
