I thought I had read 'The Invisible Man', but I don't remember any of it - maybe I was misled by the various films and TV series - anyway its a really great read.
'A Fall of Moon Dust' by Arthur C. Clarke is a gripping read. Published in 1961 - set in the 21st Century. One of 2 books I did for English Literature 0'level. The Other was 'A Tale of Two Cities'. In my youth, we did not have TV, so I had to read books instead

If you fancy a good Sci-Fi film, try Europa Report or The Signal or maybe Automata all of those are good films. Or if you missed it try Moon it's also well worth a watch..

As above, Moon is one of the finest sci-fi films of the last few years.
