Cordwainer Smith, Norstrilla and his short fiction. The Dead Lady of Clown Town especially, as well as Scanners live in Vain. He's an amazing writer. He actually criticized transhumanism before it existed. What good is it to have a 300 year old perfect body when you feel middle-aged and unwanted on the inside, and man secretly being taken care of by the animal-humans that he made is so poignant. His works were startling to me, really not like a lot of science fiction of the time.
