I cannot verify the results, but I searched our collection at Archive for "dystopian" and here's what it came up with:
https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?and%5B%5D=dystopian&sin=&sort=-reviewdate
Perhaps read the blurbs and any reviews, and maybe research them elsewhere online to see if they really are. About all I can guarantee from this search is that whoever set them up (or commented on them) used the word.

Not so much a dystopia as such, if you're looking for societal impact, but the best "nature takes it all back" that I have read.
Sadly, it ends a bit abruptly...
Edit: Reading on a bit on the wiki page for that book, there's also
https://librivox.org/the-purple-cloud-by-matthew-phipps-shiel/
and
https://librivox.org/news-from-nowhere-by-william-morris/
that were inspired by "After London"

Definitely catch We by Yevgeny Zemyatin when it is completed. (It's being recorded now.) Also, don't miss London's The Iron Heel. https://librivox.org/the-iron-heel-by-jack-london/
Not feeling well. I'll get back to work as soon as possible. My LibriVox: https://librivox.org/sections/readers/13278
