As do Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, althougn these are more akin to fantasy.

And don't forget Around the World in 80 Days, and Shelly's Frankenstein as early examples of SF. (Although Saberhagen's The Frankenstein Papers is a pretty amazing retelling of Shelly's original work.)

BTW, have either of you read Verne's "lost" novel Paris in the Twentieth Century? Apparently it is a distopia story, and pretty dark, as well. From what I've read (and from a "History of SF" class I took in college), Verne's editor lightened his original stories considerably, and the recently discovered manuscript bears this out.
