One of my favorite science fiction authors is Isaac Asimov. I'd suggest the reading his novel 'I, Robot'. Its different from the movie, as its a collection of short stories about different robots in the life of Susan Calvin, a cold-hearted person who could only love robotics.

Then, move to the Robot Series, a trilogy of books following the murder mysteries of Elijah Baley in a distant future where robots are everywhere.

Then, continue onto the Foundation series with the original trilogy; Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation. Hari Seldon uses his skill of psychohistory (a mathematical way of predicting the future) to predict the fall of knowledge for 1000 years. He sets up a planet called 'Foundation' to shorten this period and this series of books is their trials in tribulations until that time.

I might also recommend the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series; a silly and bizarre british comedy series that has spanned television, radio, and the movie screen (read the books first, though lol)

And last, I recommend the Vorkosigan Series of books. I've just started on the first book 'Warrior's Apprentice' and its enticing

I'm sure there are plenty of other science fictions that are good, such as the Dune series (I haven't gotten the chance to read yet...) or anything by Jules Verne.
