I have a document into which I haphazardly paste authors and titles and dont bother with formatting so I ran it through AI to be presentable for this thread - AI apparently made a mistake in that one. Here are some more in case you are interested:
>Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game (1977)
>William Gibson - Burning Chrome (1982)
>George R. R. Martin - Sandkings (1979)
>Harlan Ellison - I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (1967)
>Alfred Bester - Fondly Fahrenheit (1954)
>Jerome Bixby - It's a Good Life (1953)
>Andy Weir - The Egg (2009)
>Robert Silverberg - Passengers (1968)
>Ray Bradbury - There Will Come Soft Rains (1950)
>Shirley Jackson - The Lottery (1948)
>Bruce Sterling - Spook (1983)
>Paul Melko - The Walls of the Universe (2006)
>China Miéville - Dowager of Bees (2015)
>J.G. Ballard - The Drowned Giant (1964)
>Gene Wolfe - Tracking Song (1975)
>Arthur C. Clarke - The Sentinel (1951)
>Isaac Asimov - Liar! (1941)
>Vladimir Nabokov - Signs and Symbols (1948)
>Philip K. Dick - Second Variety (1953)

I honestly expect I'll discard lots of them once I start reading them, I think many of them just dont hold so well with time.
