For me, that sort of influential writer (who I later notice showing up in my work from time to time) would be John Steakley. Ironically, and unfortunately, he's actually from Cleburne, Texas, where my wife is from (and which had part of the city showcased in the film version of one of his stories, Vampire$)...but he passed away before we moved here.I would've loved to have bought him a beer and thanked him for his stories, few as they were.
Ah, iRobot is what inspired me to start writing, 90 something pages latter I can't think of a motivation for the main characters...
