AH English Dissertation

Hey everyone,
I'm at the point where I have to decide upon the texts which I will be doing my dissertation on for Advanced Higher English. As it is worth 40% of the overall grade, I really want to get it right!! :P
The topic I want to do is on the Dystopian genre, and how the novels explore the situation's effect on the Human Nature of the characters.
I've read '1984' & I'm currently reading 'I Am Legend.' I'm already seeing some similarities, so all is going well.
I was just wondering if anyone thinks 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy would be of a suitable reading level to also compare the others to? I was originally thinking 'Fahrenheit 451', but not sure how relevant it is to Human Nature?
Thanks :smile:
