I really idolize Greg Egan, I feel like he has staked such a unique position for himself in the cultural-academic landscape. I like to say that he writes science-fiction while many other authors really write engineering-fiction or sociology-fiction. He seems to be a good mathematical explorer in more obscure/specific areas. One of the craziest crossover moments in my life was when I watched the Numberphile video on superpermutations which involves the results by Greg Egan and Anonymous 4chan user.
