By request, my list of authors and their recurrent ideas.

Isaac Asimov:   Using mathematics to predict people and run society and 
rule by technocrats and/or artificial intelligences.

Arthur C. Clarke:  Guided apotheosis.

Richard Matheson:  The only man of his kind in the world living in 
isolation.

Robert A. Heinlein:  Rejection of sexual taboos, incest especially. Use 
of corporal punishment and exile instead of imprisonment as we know it.

John Norman:  Slave chix.  With the occasional bit of role reversal to 
spice things up.

H.P. Lovecraft:  Miscegenation is icky.  So is inbreeding.  Let's face 
it, sex is icky.

Frank Herbert:  Harsh environmental conditions producing supermen.

Larry Niven.  Big dumb objects.  Also planets where only a small part of 
it is habitable.

Ray Bradbury.  A future culture which renounces things of the past like 
religion, "superstition" and respect for history.

Piers Anthony.  Rule by an oligarchy of persons of superior abilities. 
Exile or execution of people believed to be particularly inferior.

Clifford Simak.  Earth largely abandoned by an extinct or departed 
humanity.  Religious robots.

Orson Scott Card.  Keeping juveniles in ignorance of large parts of what 
they are doing in the theory that this will foster creativity instead of 
causing them to reinvent the wheel.

Marion Zimmer Bradley.  Segregation of male and female.  People with 
mating seasons.

Phillip K. Dick.  Confusion and conflation of hallucination and reality.

Joanna Russ.  Women who have dispensed with men as unnecessary and 
troublesome.
