I think Richard Matheson deserves and inkling of a mention. (Y)

Also, I credited you on my latest list. Enjoy.

Description

A list of the well-known and highly awarded authors of the Science fiction genre. In defining Science fiction here, I am sticking to Science fiction only, and not to fantasy stories, unless they leak into Science fiction in some way.

I'm certain I'm missing quite a few people here, and I intend to include awards and most important works as well.

Feel free to nudge me with other info that I might be missing.
