Okay, everyone is comparing Avatar to every movie ever based on these core themes: nature vs. technology, freedom fighter, and protagonist joins the natives. However, there is one story on that list which not only hits absurdly close to what is shown in Avatar but has no other story like it. And that is \\\"Call Me Joe\\\". That is most obviously the origin of the Avatar system, down to the crippled protagonist and blue host alien.

So basically I\\\'m seconding Hadri\\\'s post while adding suggestions for stories that should be mentioned.
