I asked people on reddit to help me compile a large list of fictional media worth consuming that have an underlying counter culture theme, that encourage you to open your mind etc. This is the result of that collaboration. I didn't want to be the sole judge of what belonged and what didn't, so I added almost all suggestions. I would rather a few extra but a more exhaustive list, than leaving people feel like I censored the list somehow. Anyways, enjoy this list.

Little Brother and its sequel Homeland by Cory Doctorow

The Lone Gladio Super Awesome. Similar story to "the Bourne Identity" Series, but from an actual Alt Media perspective. (The Author was gagged by the US government from speaking on her knowledge about 9-11 so she wrote a fictional book on the subject of 9/11.

Lord of the Flies

The Man - https://www.amazon.com/Man-Irving-Wallace/dp/067103894X

Paradise Lost - Milton

Ready Player One - Ernest Cline

Two Tales and Eight Tomorrows by Harry Harrison. Also Bill The Galactic Hero by the same author. Despite the lurid title, it is an excellent meditation on the military machine, politics behind it, and how an individual is ground up in the process of just trying to survive. More lively than Catch 22, but thematically somewhat related.

Daniel Quinn's Ishmael, the follow up My Ishmael, and the conclusion The Story of B. He sums up the underlying theme of his books pretty well in the first minute and a half of this interview . (worth watching the whole thing if you've got an hour to spare)

George Mangels - "Frank's World "

Two Tales and Eight Tomorrows by Harry Harrison. Also Bill The Galactic Hero by the same author. Despite the lurid title, it is an excellent meditation on the military machine, politics behind it, and how an individual is ground up in the process of just trying to survive.
