Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles, which I understood at a young age to be a story of colonialism. Stephenson, Zodiac, which I read at just the right time to push me further into environmentalism. Robinson, Ministry for the Future, which I didn't necessarily enjoy but can't stop thinking about.

Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven, for lessons about creating the future. Atwood, the Oryx & Crake trilogy, for terrifying visions of possible futures. N.B. These were all critical to my understanding of the world, but my favorites would be a very different list!
