There are some great novel recommendations here, but I wouldn't say that most of them are lesser-known.

What are your recommendations?

As for me, I've exclusively read well-known novels, except if you consider someone like Alfred Bester obscure, for example.

One exception: Misha Burnett's Endless Summer: Twelve Strange Tales of Mankind's Future. It's a collection of exceptionnaly well-crafted stories. It ain't a novel, though.

I don't see Ken Grimwood's Replay mentioned too often. It's an entertaining and emotionally compelling novel about a man who finds himself waking up in a time loop after he dies, with the loop narrowing each cycle. It explores some themes about what you'd do differently, and what you'd lose because you could never recreate some moments or meetings in the right way.
