I rarely read sci-fi, but I do enjoy Ray Bradbury's work.

Isaac Asimov (check out Foundation on Appletv if you haven’t already. solid sci fi series)

China Mieville is awesome. I'm into William Gibson, Philip K. Dick, and Gene Wolfe as well.

Ray Bradbury and Rod Serling.
And I don’t mean his writing for the show.
I mean his writing in book form.
I dunno if the stories or the script came first but he was a very good writer and his books are so underrated.

John Wyndham wrote some great stuff. The Day Of the Triffids is his most well known, but I've enjoyed all his stories. He is literally the founding father of one of the most popular subgenres in all of horror. - Apocalyptic fiction.
