Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

It's about a man trying to find satori. While I don't agree with Buddhism, it can be a very thought provoking novel, as long as you remove the religious connotations. It's really helped me become a better programmer by removing the things in life that get in the way of my work.

I think 1-san was asking for fiction novels, not technical books.

Anyways, 1984 by George Orwell is a fairly accurate depiction of the direction the world is taking.
