THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS

THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS OF ALL TIME

Following in the vein/venue/media of TBTTSOAT, here is a comprehensive list of the best Science Fiction Authors of all time. Obviously, this list will anger some and please others. Some will even find names here that they are unfamiliar with. Every effort has been taken to give you a list that is innate to your world, so that you do not spend time looking for someone or something that doesn’t exist (elsewhen or elsewhere). Clicking on any link (underlined) will take you elsewhere without having to leave here. These first links are bios.

THE LIST (Alphabetical)

CHRISTOPHER ANVIL
ISAAC AZIMOV
ROBERT HEINLEIN
KEITH LAUMER
LARRY NIVEN
JAMES SCHMITZ
A. E. VAN VOGT
H. G. WELLS

(I said it was a list of the best, right?) You may wish to add more to this list yourself, or email me some ”instructive criticism” to help me make my list more complete. Knock yourself out. Since I live elsewhen, I am rather immune to letter-bombs, spells and such like. You may, however, EMAIL me with all the vindictive vitrol you can muster. I do enjoy those. Or you can reflect that the list I provide here really is complete.

Notice that there is a name on this list that is rather new to me (KL). Contrary to any rumors, I am not infallible, only seemingly so. Therefore I am not above editing my list when someone really, really good comes to my attention. After all, I cannot be everwhere in every universe and everywhen in any timeline, can I?

Send me your revision of this list, or any person you wish to add. I am not Simon Cowell, after all. I might even read what you send me.

THE REST OF THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS

All Right. Just so someone doesn’t have an apoplectic fit, I am including ALL of the authors known in your timeline and universe, From Asprin to Zelazny (plus a few not-so-great others, IMO). This list starts with the rest of the best and goes elsewhere. Naturally, several of these lists include pell mell the best of this list. Some people have no sense of history, obviously (or sense of the rightness and fitness of things).

ps, you can read all my science fiction (rather decent Mac fiction, actually) here at this website you are now on. I seem to have been placed in their Archives. Fancy that.
