Well, '1984' stands out among dystopian novels in its portrayal of a world where the truth is so completely manipulated. In novels like 'Fahrenheit 451', the focus is more on the suppression of knowledge through burning books. But in '1984', the Party controls not just information but also how people think about it. It's a more comprehensive and insidious form of control compared to many other dystopian works.

Oliver's 'delirium' stands out in its focus on love as a central theme within the dystopian setting.
