It's toss up between Philip K. Dick & William Gibson
Philip K. Dick is basically a god in the science fiction community, everything thing written before 1968’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is irrelevant and everything written after is homage. The man wrote the rules and blazed the trailed for the rest to follow.
Philip K. Dick may be a god but William Gibson wrote the bible, of course I’m talking about 1984’s Neuromancer. A book that I personally think has the greatest opening sentence in the history of literature.
Also a quick shout out to the legendary Robert Ludlum.
