This is probably a meme answer to some but Hitchhikers.

Since we are answering the question, I'd say one of the following: A Roadside Picnic, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, or Neuromancer.

I originally came here to comment something else though: when I read Princess Kaguya in Japanese class, it actually was practically scifi with people living on the Moon, Kaguya coming out of a "bamboo sprout" which sounds a lot like an emergency pod of some sort, the Moon-people coming to Earth via a flying carriage...

I liked Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five.

Vonnegut loves using science fiction to navigate and justify a sad and uncaring world.
Really resonated with me back when I was a teenager.

World's still sad and uncaring, but we've created little livable pockets.
