Help: The Relation between Science fiction and science
I am a big fan of Stanislaw Lem and Greg Bear. Their writing styles are completely different, but their use of technology is striking. I would recommend any of Lem's books, and as for Greg Bear I really liked the Eon series and the Forge of God / The Anvil of the Stars books. I am not sure whether any of these writer's books have been turned into movies yet.
Of course, Arthur C. Clarke is a must - he famously predicted artificial satellites long before they actually were built, and the movie 2001 - a space odyssey is of course based on his book. When you think about the fact that this movie was made back in 1968 (wasn't it?) and what impact it has had on people's ideas about technology it is rather incredible.
HG Wells is a rather important figure (you mention Hollow Man - don't forget The Time Machine)...and I think you just have to include Jules Verne - the early films based on his book had a great impact.
Just a few ideas,
Tormod
