_Foundation_ is incredible, and also EVERY Gibson novel is worth reading. Personally, I think that Gibson's a better prose stylist. Also you should check out some of Ursula LeGuin's scifi stuff, like _The Left Hand of Darkness_

Frank Herbert is a good choice, if you dont like to hear how someone is being photon torpetoed sideways up his ass.
ConSentiency/Jorj X. Mckie books are good ones to start with if you are interested in interracial affairs. And with interracial I don't mean niggers.
