1984 And Animal Farm, By Orwell, are required reading for any future dystopia becomes common knowledge.
Fahrenheit 451, is a good book on censorship.
Asimov, most of his early work is good.
Arthur C Clarke, for sure. Some of his visions show up in Halo 2, if you're observant.
T S Eliot.
Heinlein's already been mentioned...
The Caine Mutiny is a good book, but not sci fi.
The Godfather, Mario Puzo. An excellent read.
Gadsby, the ENTIRE book is written without an "E's". Not one.
The Illiad, Homer.
Catch-22.
But, the book that I'm most excited about isn't out yet. Accelerando, is a piece of Sci Fi, and the write up of the novel can be found HERE.
