are they dystopian novels which balance the idea of a self-enslaved society. I mean something like an exaggerated governmentality and "nudging"

Are you sure it's not fish?

1984 pretty much.
Oryx and Crake gets an honorable mention because it's almost all too real.

I don't think this is necessarily dystopian. It's more of a microcosm for the base instincts of humans. The world outside of the high-rise is going along normally.

Fehrenheit-451 is my favorite.
I read it in high school and for some reason it stuck with me. The setting and characters really resonated with me, and I loved the specific setting.
Also I think the 60's movie sealed my love for the book. It wasn't great, but that 60's take on the dystopian setting was really cool to me.

The Waste Land

also Snow crash and do androids dream of electric sheep are sci fi dystopia but i really enjoyed.
