http://www.listal.com/list/the-luminaries-of-scifi 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. **WIP** * Links to Wiki pages * Birth-death dates * List of 1-3 important works * List of major awards en-us GMT GMT Listal.com <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/douglas-adams' title="Douglas Adams"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/476036/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a>1952 - 2001 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_adams">Wiki page</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:05:41 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/douglas-adams http://www.listal.com/author/douglas-adams <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/poul-anderson' title="Poul Anderson"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/132212/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a>1926 - 2001 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_anderson">Wiki page</a> 7 Hugo Awards 3 Nebula Awards Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:26:59 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/poul-anderson http://www.listal.com/author/poul-anderson <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/isaac-asimov' title="Isaac Asimov"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/657081/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/isaac-asimov' title="Isaac Asimov">Isaac Asimov</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:25:03 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/isaac-asimov http://www.listal.com/author/isaac-asimov <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/alfred-bester' title="Alfred Bester"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/26650/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/alfred-bester' title="Alfred Bester">Alfred Bester</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:46:11 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/alfred-bester http://www.listal.com/author/alfred-bester <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/ray-bradbury' title="Ray Bradbury"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/34045/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/ray-bradbury' title="Ray Bradbury">Ray Bradbury</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:31:53 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/ray-bradbury http://www.listal.com/author/ray-bradbury <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/marion-zimmer-bradley' title="Marion Zimmer Bradley"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/37930/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/marion-zimmer-bradley' title="Marion Zimmer Bradley">Marion Zimmer Bradley</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:56:17 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/marion-zimmer-bradley http://www.listal.com/author/marion-zimmer-bradley <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/david-brin' title="David Brin"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/34867/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/david-brin' title="David Brin">David Brin</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:01:28 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/david-brin http://www.listal.com/author/david-brin <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/edgar-rice-burroughs' title="Edgar Rice Burroughs"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/798822/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/edgar-rice-burroughs' title="Edgar Rice Burroughs">Edgar Rice Burroughs</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:25:28 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/edgar-rice-burroughs http://www.listal.com/author/edgar-rice-burroughs <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/orson-scott-card' title="Orson Scott Card"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/320019/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a> <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/orson-scott-card' title="Orson Scott Card">Orson Scott Card</a> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:38:52 GMT http://www.listal.com/author/orson-scott-card http://www.listal.com/author/orson-scott-card <a href='http://www.listal.com/author/arthur-c.-clarke' title="Arthur C.
