We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, I believe. At least...I don't think I've read any Jules Verne, and that's all I can think of older than We I'm likely to have read.
Edit: nope, scratch that, I've read Journey to the Center of the Earth and Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, both older than We. This may qualify as a generous definition of sci-fi, though.
I'm very interested in your copies of Your Inner Fish, Anatomy of an Epidemic, and Evil Genes. I would love to be able to take all three off your hands. I have several books that I can offer you in exchange, all of which I've read and highly recommend! What I have that might match your interests are:

Tolstoy's great-grandniece has a good post apocalyptic book called The Slynx.
Day of the Oprichnik and The Queue by Vladimir Sorokin are both good. The Queue is written in all dialogue though, which can be off-putting to some.
Omon Ra by Victor Pelevin is pretty damn funny.
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is considered a precursor to 1984 and is worth a read.
Yuri Olesha's Envy is another funny one. Short, too.
Petersburg by Andrei Bely is generally considered the Russian Ulysses.
The Foundation Pit by Andrey Platonov is a biting look at Stalin's collectivization.
The Golovlyov Family by Shchedrin is about a family so awful they wouldn't be out of place in a Faulkner book.
Autobiography of a Corpse by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky is my favorite of his story collections. Pretty trippy stuff.

And seeing that you had a Steve Berry novel up for trade, I also have these two excellent Brad Meltzer thriller novels:
If any of my books peak your interests, I'd love to make a trade!
I love the cover to We - Yevgeny Zamyatin

Why not We by Zamyatin, the book that inspired Orwell to write 1984.
