Arthur C Clarke's science fiction. A damn fine scientist and science communicator - a thoroughly nasty human being. Love his books, but I don't want EVER to meet him in real life.
Oh no.... That only leaves me with Phillip K Dick :(
there are still so many great classic writers
harry harrison
harlen ellison
william gibson
larry niven
ray bradbury
Include Isaac Asimov in that list.
