Most of Ayn Rand's work describes the conflict and interplay between the forces of society and socialism versus the individual and egoism or rational self-interest. Her early novel "Anthem" is probably the most traditionally dystopic, describing a world in which the word "me" is outlawed.
Vonnegut's work is also an excellent choice. The short story "Harrison Bergeron" (probably in "Welcome to the Monkey House") is a perfect example.
