George Orwell "1984"
Steven Brust "To Reign in Hell". I don't remember exactly how it ends, and I can't find my copy, but it starts with Jahve and Satan as good friends and allies who sincerely want to work together for the benefit of angelkind and all of creation. They just disagree about some specific policies. The whole book consists of seeing the situation gradually spin out of control.
And not science fiction: Remarque's "Nothing New on the Western Front".
