I don't know if Clifford D. Simak is lesser known, but his work is pretty foundational for a lot of more modern sci-fi. Before there was "I, Robot", there was "City". ~~Before there were Ewoks, there was "Little Fuzzy".~~ Before there were living ships like in Farscape, Lexx, or Xenogenesis, there was "The Visitors".
I should have remembered that was H. Beam Piper. Also great.
Clifford Simak didn't write Little Fuzzy. That was H. Beam Piper.
Correct. My mistake.
