Stephen Baxter and Robert J Sawyer
Sorry, never heard of them, I'll check the library. Michael Morecock doesn't sound familiar either.

Anyone who's smart enough to dream up anything but that stupid good versus evil shit.

Zero: I think you'd like Calculating God and Vaccuum Diagrams. Neither of them are really a good vs evil book.

Well, they all have good vs evil, but doing more with that and making the idea more intricate would likely make the book more interesting...

Something I'd love to do is meet the people on the list. PReferably before the old ones die.

George R.R. Martin - the Good versus Evil theme is very much toned down / blurred (at least in his first book, haven't made it to the second or third as of it)
