What are some lesser known sci fi books that are good? Don't really want to lead Dune right now. I also really like Cyberpunk. Recommend reading the Takeshi Kovach's trilogy for anyone that likes dumb fun

Cities in Flight is a neat idea, although kind of dry (as was most SF at the time)

Ship of Fools is a pretty good space horror novel

Julian May's Pliocene Exile books are also quite good and contain one of the neatest setups I've seen in genre fiction. They often feel more like fantasy than strictly SF though.
