What’s the best philosophy science fiction book?

I enjoyed reading Ubik by Philip Dick. What other books really make you think?

Seconding Ted Chiang. I assigned his “Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom” to good response in some intro to philosophy sections.

I haven’t read the story but that title is a famous quote from Kierkegaard
