Best scifi

Internet entrepreneur Marc Andreessen lists his top science fiction novelists of the decade. Like I do, he puts a lot of emphasis on the British writers. Canadian Peter Watts makes the list, thanks to Blindsight. Chris Moriarty, the only woman on the list, is one I have been meaning to read. I have her Spin State around here somewhere. He has very high praise for the newest Vernor Vinge, which I had put in a future maybe state, but now he has me thinking again.

One commenter notes that Robert Charles Wilson is missing. I like his books, but I often feel let down by the endings. I have Spin, which everyone says is crazy good.
