Predicted the Internet, and the effects it might have on our society, waaay back in 1909.
3. Octavia Butler, Fledging (unless someone nominates something better by her. One way or another, Octavia Butler needs to be on the list).
4. Ursula LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness.
5. Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash
6. Greg Bear, Darwin's Radio

Movies
1. Blade Runner
2. Let the Right One In
3. Pan's Labyrinth
4. Star Trek: The Voyage Home
I'm sure I'll think of more, but I have to actually get some writing done today :)

2. E.M. Foster, The Machine Stops.
