Well, on the UK side of things you can probably pick any of the authors published during Michael Moorcock's tenure at New Worlds: so Aldiss, Moorcock, M John Harrison, Hilary Bailey, Ballard, Barrington J Bayley, Disch, Brunner.
You can also probably toss in Delany, Spinrad, much of Dangerous Visions, and then go on from there.
The movement, if there was one, is best characterised by a shift from puzzle stories to more complex fiction, with some authors crossing the divide, like Silverberg and Zelazny in the US.
- andybak 9y agoA volume of Robert Silverberg stories blew me away when I was young and eager for ideas based fiction. I think he might be the under-rated author of that era - talented with characters and narrative, yet provocative and thought provoking in terms of his conceptual exploration. However - decades (and probably puberty) sit in between me and my last reading of his work so this is probably an unreliable viewpoint.
