Anything and everything by Robert A. Heinlein. Especially Stranger in a Strange Land, and Starship Troopers. Must reads!

The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman.

DUNE, by Frank Herbert.
It’s probably to Sci-fi what The Lord of The Rings is to Fantasy.

Highly recommend HG Wells (Time Machine, War of the Worlds…), Jules Verne (20000 Leagues Under The Sea), Mary Shelley (Frankenstein), Philip K. Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Frank Herbert (Dune series) and Isaac Asimov (Robot series, Foundation series…).

Can’t go wrong with Philip K. Dick. And John Brunner’s Stand On Zanzibar is an amazing novel if you can get past the deliberately off-putting first 20 pages. Though both are perhaps more “new-wave” sci-fi than strictly classic.
