Either Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke. I like books that not only are about futuristic technologies but also about how society would change in response to those technologies.
Don't forget the Brits! My favorites are Ruth Rendell and Peter Robinson. Their books are very well written, murder mysteries and police procedurals..very likeable characters. They are prolific writers so you won't run out of a book to read for a very long time!

This is like asking a parent which is their favorite child! Its almost impossible to answer without neglecting other great writers.
I am especially fond of Ian McEwan, Anita Shreve, Steven King (sometimes, hit or miss), Ken Follett (Pillars of the Earth..outstanding!), Jane Austin (of course! brilliant!), Patricia Cornwell, and my newly found author, Kathleen Stockett who wrote The Help ( a bit soap opera-ish but a great read. The characters leap off the pages..a "can't put it down" book".
Thanks all for lists of author's names...I will have to explore some of them.
