John Brunner

His best known works are dystopias -- vivid realizations of the futures we want to avoid.

Beats me, Commander.
If that's who you are, then I've never heard of you.
And I don't think I've ever heard of me, either.....I'm Samuel R. "Chip" Delany
just like in a dream

and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends

Benford is a competent hard sf writer and a scientist. He is a
proponent of writing stories where the "science" has to be consistent
with current scientific theory.

Delaney is a black homosexual who has
written some very challenging sf. He has won 2 Hugos and 4 Nebulas. His
most famous works are Babel-17, The Einstein Intersection and Dhalgren.

Vonnegut is from Indy and he is very discordian.

Maaaa... I wanted to be Kurt Vonnegut, but instead I'm Octavia E. Butler whom I've never even heard of.
Don't you have good garbage?

Octavia is another black sf writer, who is considered very literary. I
haven't read anything by her yet, but I got a couple of her books
around somewhere.
