Dune & Brave New World
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick.
The Stars My Destination
Alfred Bester
Alfred Bester
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury
Others include:
The ever so popular "Frankenstein", Mary Shelley
Probably the oldest sci-fi story "A True Story", Lucian of Samosata
One of my favorites, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas", by Jules Verne
Before the DeLorean, "The Time Machine" was great at informing about Morlocks, by H. G. Wells
And before Star Wars, there was "The War of the Worlds", with invading Martians, by H. G. Wells as well.
Also favorites are "1984", George Orwell, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and its predecessor, "We", by Yevgeny Zamyatin.
I must admit though, that I personally enjoy watching Sci-Fi movies as well, if not even more.

I have - along with a lot of other PKD stories. I just oversaw that you already mentioned it. The movie, btw., is great, but quite different from the book.
One I forgot:
Adam Wiśniewski-Snerg, "Według łotra" (english title: According, to the Thief)
When this book came out many believed that was Stanisłav Lem writing under pseudonym.
