Newspaper columns and magazines appear to steal the limelight by making commentaries on politics. However, their impact is seasonal compared to the classic political fiction books 2017. The novels handle different subjects with such depth that it is awe inspiring. The authors are also of diverse backgrounds which gives readers an opportunity to view politics from different angles.

1984 is a strange leader in this category considering that it was penned by George Orwell in 1949. It is an imagination of a future that seems to have caught up with humanity. He imagines a future where the world is under the control of super powers and where newspeaks and thoughtcrime are common place. The reality for this novel came to fore with the introduction of Macintosh by Apple in 1984. It would be also form the subject of 2007 Democratic primaries.

All the Kings Men was written by Robert Warren decades ago. His is an exploration of the lives of politicians with focus being on Willie Stark from Louisiana. He makes ultimate sacrifices to become an influential political figure, with no guarantee that his gamble will pay. This narrative by Warren helped him win the Pulitzer Prize.

On what engine does the world run and is there a person who switches the button on and off? Ayn Rand uses Atlas Shrugged to examine this idea. As a capitalism apologia, he has managed to maintain a consistent voice through his works. The approach he gives issues has turned this title into the second most influential book in America. It is a darling of conservatives because of its heavy libertarian views.

The military, war and politics have been inseparable for centuries. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller does not want to treat these subjects with the seriousness many people view them. He ridicules them through his first novel that is also very impressive. He is credited for introducing new lexicon through this narrative into the English language.

Golding William is not an author who needs introduction. The Lord of Flies is a naturally selling title that approaches politics from a philosophical point of view. He explores the idea of civilization and whether it gets as deep as the soul. In his assessment, the soul never gets civilized considering what it can do when law and order are suspended. The results are dumbfounding.

To Kill a Mocking Bird is an exciting read by Harper Lee. It explores the issue of politics and how it intertwines with race and class. The narrative is set in the 30s in Deep South. It is outstanding in several fronts, including the use of a child character who is only 8 years and the manner in which the author creates enduring and endearing characters. It is a battle of perseverance and justice against hypocrisy and prejudice.

Adults in the Room is a piece of work penned by Yanis Varoufakis, a socialist who rose to become the prime minister in 2015. As an economist lecturer, he thought that he had a solution to Greek financial crisis that did not include austerity. He will realize that these are just illusions. Something else controls the world.
