I think Gene Wolfe is the one of the greatest authors of all time across any genre. I highly highly recommend the Fifth Head of Cerberus which is 3 short interconnected novellas and Peace, which isn't traditional Sci-Fi but is absolutely worth a read.

He's not just writing, he's constructing beautifully crafted puzzle-boxes that take a lot of time and thought to unpack.

Fifth Head of Cerberus was a huge shock for me when I read it.

Couldn't believe I spent so much time reading SF without having heard of this.

Too bad that his most famous contribution to the world is not his books but Pringles chips.
