“I became a so-called science fiction writer when someone decreed that I was a science fiction writer. I did not want to be classified as one, so I wondered in what way I'd offended that I would not get credit for being a serious writer. I decided that it was because I wrote about technology, and most fine American writers know nothing about technology. I got classified as a science fiction writer simply because I wrote about Schenectady, New York. My first book, Player Piano, was about Schenectady. There are huge factories in Schenectady and nothing else. I and my associates were engineers, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians. And when I wrote about the General Electric Company and Schenectady, it seemed a fantasy of the future to critics who had never seen the place.”

start off with The Sirens of Titan and Slaughterhouse Five.

Then read Mother Night, Jailbird, Slapstick, Cat's Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions

there's a ton more good-to-decent-to-low-tier works of his that are worth checking out if you find you like the aforementioned
