He's the only one who grappled with modernity and what humanity would do with it. Not just "these toys are great" but "oh geez, what is the system of control going to do with them?" c.f. Burroughs (though he's not often regarded as SF as genre, aldo much harder to read.)

Sometimes I think about how much more popular and influential Burroughs' writing and ideas could have been had he not gotten sidetracked with that "cut-up" bullshit... he really had a fascinating and uniquely American prose voice that he destroyed in a fit of delirium.
