Also The Giver. "Equality of opportunity" taken to its logical conclusion. Children are separated from their biological parents and raised by those most qualified to raise children, children are selected and trained in the occupations most suited to them during school so they can reach their maximum potential, and infants deemed unfit are euthanized. A sterile world.
I read this book in Middle School, I think, possibly sooner, and its lessons stuck with me. A very stark book but a well written one, I'm very grateful I had a school that was fine with it being in their lesson plan.

Same. It's probably the only book I read at that age that I remember.
