The problem there is maybe that the novel length treatment of the idea is not quite as amazing as the original short story.
One author that I find sadly missing from the list is John Brunner. Each of "Stand on Zanzibar", "The Sheep Look Up", and "Shockwave Rider" would arguably deserve a place on this list.
