If you don't mind stuff from the 1930's there is the excellent When Worlds Collide/After Worlds Collide duo by Edwin Balmer and Phillip Wylie. Superb story!! These are two of my all-time novels, that tell the story of an interplanetary collision. Some of the science is, to be kind, out of date, but the story presented was fascinating. BTW, even though there are two novels, they tell but one story.

One of my friends told me about it in junior high back in the early 1960's and even after more than fifty years, the book has lost none of its' appeal for me.

I suggest War of the Worlds, Fahrenheit 451, and 1984. I like their descriptions of future technology compared to what we have today.

I've enjoyed several of Cormac McCarthy's books but he has his own writing style that may not be for everyone. The Road is fantastic.
