Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. I've read this book quite young, I was 18 or so; it made me ask deeper questions on society, progress, "fitting in", and the purpose of the individual.

Other books from the same author like Island, The Ape and the Essence, The Genie and the Goddess, also had some impact on my life.
