American Scientist Magazine lists 100 or so Books That Shaped a Century of Science. There are several categories, mostly citing non-fiction science books. But they did see fit to include a small handful of novels:

  • Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis (1925)
  • Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1963)
  • Tono Bungay by H. G. Wells (1908)
  • Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (1973)
