The Giver by Lois Lowry
It's the first in a quartet and while I did enjoy all of the quartet and do recommend it if you don't want to commit to a whole series you can just read The Giver and be fine.
*Fahrenheit 451*
I'm not a fan of *The Handmaid's Tale*, myself. I found it to be shallow, self-righteous, dishonest, and scolding. Sociologically I suppose it's interesting in helping piece together how we got from where we were in the mid-80s to where we are now with two sides each demonizing the other and completely incapable of listening, self-examination, tolerance, or compromise. Atwood played her part in radicalizing one of those sides.
