If you like fantasy, try ‘Glory Road.’ It was written around 1965. A young Vietnam veteran gets recruited by a mysterious beauty and her cynical manservant on a quest to retrieve the stolen Egg of the Phoenix. Takes every fantasy trope and gleefully kicks it in the face.

“Stand On Zanzibar” won the 1969 Hugo award for best science fiction novel of the year.
It’s set in the early 2000’s and got so many of the details right it’s uncanny. Some of the ideas that people in 1969 laughed at were mass homelessness; well paid folks needing room mates to make the rent; random school shootings, etc etc.
