It is somewhat derivative of Gulliver’s Travels, which came before and more clearly qualifies:

Although fantasy stories are much older I think Voltaire's 1752 "Micromegas" may be one of the first true Science Fiction stories ever written; I just finished reading it, listening to it actually, and it's really very good and doesn't sound like it's 268 years old. You can get it for free if you're on Audible.
