I think no list would be complete without Greg Egan's collection
_Axiomatic_, which seems to me to be the best example of true sf
published in recent years. Most of the other books I'd include have
already been mentioned, but Aldous Huxley's _Brave New World_ certainly
belongs on the list, as probably does David Zindell's "A Requiem for
Homo Sapiens" series, Al Bester's _The Stars My Destination_, William
Gibson's _Neuromancer_, Mike Swanwick's _Stations of the Tide_, HG
Wells' _The Time Machine_, Arthur Clarke's _Childhood's End_, Gene
Wolfe's _The Book of the New Sun_, Iain Banks' _Use of Weapons_, Ursula
LeGuin's _The Left Hand of Darkness_, Bruce Sterling's _Schismatrix_...
Oops... how many books are we allowed again?
