I'm making a list of speculative fiction by decade. This is what I have to start with:

1907 - The Iron Heel by Jack London
1921 - We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
1932 - Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
1935 - It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis
1949 - Nineteen Eight-Four by George Orwell
1953 - Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
1959 - A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller Jr
1974 - Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Phillip K. Dick
1989 - The Dying Sun by Gary Blackwood
1996 - Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
2001 - Deception Point by Dan Brown
2010 - Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart

I don't have anything for the 1910s or 1980s. If anyone has any recommendations please share because as far as I'm aware speculative fiction just became cyberpunk when postmodernism took over as the dominant cultural zietgiest. I considered adding Terminator 1 novelization but it seemed too meme tier and honestly it's a detective noir story and not a speculative fiction story. My list is lacking a lot of environmental speculative fiction though, I seem to remember a (non-fantasy) story about ozone depletion causing earth's surface to be uninhabitable but it's been years.
