Slaughterhouse Five

by Kurt Vonnegut 

A superb acerbic tour de temps. Up there with Catch 22, but with sci-fi thrown in, and a vision of the hell that was Dresden. As relevant today as it was forty years ago. Of course, a warning for the future as well.

 Neuromancer

by William Gibson

This is the book that widened his use of the term 'cyberspace', which he invented in his earlier short story 'Burning Chrome'. Almost singelhandedly, he defined the 'cyberpunk' sub-genre of SciFi. A great read from the author who foresaw the advent of Reality TV.
