The Rediscovery of Man by Cordwainer Smith is a huge favorite of mine that doesn't get talked about much. Some of his short stories are readily available online... you could google "The Dead Lady of Clown Town" or "Scanners Live in Vain" if you'd like to read something of his before committing to buy a really long book.
