Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

Haven’t read Egan or Rucker, so I can’t speak to them. Vinge had amazing ideas that still pop into my head from time to time, but I couldn’t get into his writing style; he never really pulled me in, despite how much I wanted to bet pulled in.

I couldn’t finish a Deepness in the Sky. It didn’t seem like the sci-fi was important - it was just a setting.
