Who are some actual great writers of Science Fiction? I'm talking Nabokov/Joyce levels of prose and characterization (if they exist at all).

Outside of popular names like PKD, CS Lewis, Wells, Mary Shelly, Le Guin, Wynne Jones, all the 19th century precursors, and so many others who have had their works adapted into films and shows (both animated and live action), these are some names I've heard:

>Gene Wolfe
>Mervyn Peake
>China Mieville
>Ted Chiang
>Kazuo Ishiguro


I'm asking about Sci-fi specifically, not fantasy. So I'm not looking for a Lord Dunsany or Guy Gavriel Kay suggestion, unless they have written Sci-fi and I overlooked something.
