Lots of real world examples of course, but sci-fi has covered how lack of access to writing, reading or knowledge is an essential ingredient in dystopian control societies. Bit of brave new world, 1984, and some animal farm thrown in.
The 2010 play Futura by Jordan Harrison is highly recommended though don’t think it’s been produced anywhere in a while.

Funny how you didn’t mention Fahrenheit 451, since that’s literally how the dystopia in the book came to be.
You can just suggest it as an addendum instead of implying that it’s a deliberate omission by starting with “Funny how…”
Wasn’t meant as insinuating a deliberate omission. Put you’re right. The tone was a bit agressive, sorry.

Learn from this Lemming friends great attitude!!!
I thought the omission was funny too
Fahrenheit 451 is often left out but arguably the most important piece.
