I crave some good (or bad, whatever) dystopian literature. Any recommendations? Mix in some time travel for extra fun!

Philip K. Dick is always good for a thoroughly dystopian view of humanity. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is much more intense than the movie version (Blade Runner for those following along at home).

Not sure it qualifies as dystopian, exactly, since it's historical fiction, but a nicely depressing time travel book is Connie Willis's Doomsday Book.

Oh, and then there's Cormac McCarthy's The Road.
