A Clockwork Orange

The book "A Clockwork Orange," originally written in the 1960's, is about the future fate of the world, in around the year 2000, when young criminals have pretty much came into power, while the older people are defenseless. The book features a boy named Alex who gets caught by the police after accidentally murdering a woman after his three droogs (friends) in his little gang betray him at the scene of the crime. He is sentenced to jail for a long time, but eventually gets out after two years thanks to an experimental procedure that makes a person not able to do violence or even think about it. After he is out, he confronts all of the people he wronged in his past and is helpless to defend himself as everyone he meets shuns him or beats him. The story itself is wonderful, and I recommend everyone should at least read it once.
