Alot of the would be sci fi parts are now a reality, and many of them arent far from being real in the near future.
Some really good recommendations in this thread.
I will add catch 22, animal farm(good and short...), and mothernight. Dont really fit as sci fi, but books i highly recommend.

Man I gotta get a lot of books.

Again there are myriad examples of science fiction being a predictor of science fact.
