Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Really, anything by Michael Crichton should be on any sci fi reader's list. Unlike most sci fi which deals with distant futures with space travel, his books deal with issues that are in our world today. 30 years ago when he wrote Jurassic Park, cloning was being discussed as whether it was possible. Now in today's world, cloning extinct animals is becoming closer and closer (like the Mammoth has been mentioned) along with the morals of said cloned animals (like with cloned meat and stuff).
All of his books are very relevant in today's world with their messages and themes, and their stories/characters are pretty awesome too

I really loved Timeline and Terminal Man. He was such a good author because he did so much research into the subject he was writing on.

Yeah, he was one of the only sci fi authors who needed a bibliography at the end of his books due to all of the research, quotes, and stuff he put into his book. My favorites have to be Congo, Jurassic Park, and Sphere. Micro is honorable mention up until the very end.
