I imagine it's like after reading 1984 by George Orwell. That book left me quite disturbed for our future.
Other books like Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World are also supposed to be shocking and a forewarning, but the stories in both leave you with a ray of hope at the end (sorry if spoilers). But not 1984. That book leaves you with a definite feeling of mental disquiet.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
