Science Fiction Books Released Post-WWII
This is a list of classic science fiction books released after Steve Rogers went into the ice (1945). They are books that Steve and Bucky would not have read before waking up in the 21st century. The purpose of the list is to highlight books and their cultural references that Steve (and Bucky) would not already be familiar with in the 21st century.
Also see the Science Fiction Books Released Pre-WWII list — as well as the Classic Book Release lists from Pre-WWII and Post-WWII.
While not exhausted by any stretch, the list includes many best sellers, as well as books which contain popular cultural references or those with notable social commentary. Some stories included are later book releases of stories that earlier appeared in pulp magazines. If they read Astounding Stories magazine then that may have read these titles. Feel free to suggest other titles you think Steve or Bucky might have read — please include an explanation for the choice.

oohh, i highly recommend john ironmonger's not forgetting the whale! it's a contemporary dystopia explained through economic crash/struggle and although it's set in current day england there are many fantastical elements about it. it also includes some great characters and deals with themes of loss.

Books Released Post-WWII
This is a list of classic books released after Steve Rogers went into the ice (1945). They are books that Steve would not have read before waking up in the 21st century. Also included are books that came out between 1943 and 1945, while Steve was in the USO or in active service, thus there is a low possiblity that Steve would have come across them to read. The purpose of the list is to highlight books and their cultural references that Steve (and Bucky) would not be familiar with automatically, and to give ideas on some of the books they may pick up to read in the 21st century while catching up with the 70 years missed.
Also see the Pre-WWII book lists.
While not exhausted by any stretch, the list includes many best sellers, as well as books which contain popular cultural references or those with notable social commentary. The list included books up until the 1990s. While there are popular books from the 2000s, I feel for this list it would be difficult to discern books that could be considered ‘classics’ when they are so recent. The newest book in this list is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, included for the massive cultural impact it has had. Feel free to suggest other titles you think Steve or Bucky might include in a catch-up booklist — please include an explanation for the choice.
