The Darkest Hour by Tony Schumacher. An alternate reality story where the Germans conquered Britain during World War 2.
I love that "Brave New World" twist on the all controlling dictatorship story wasn't another "1984" or "Darkness at Noon" dystopia, but a surface appearance of "the good life," masking the total evil behind it all.

Darn! He stole my idea!
If you like that genre, I strongly recommend Philip Roth's "The Plot Against America," which suggests what might have happened if Charles Lindbergh ran for, and was elected, President in 1940. If you can get past the political impossibility of this actually happening, the projected future is actually quite plausible.
Well, it's not that great right now...hopefully it gets better. But if not, maybe you can do a better job of it!
