Tom Clancy may yet surprise you
Season 4 of Lexx had all that and aliens.
Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Gotta protect those bodily fluids boiz!
Wait until you take your first road trip through Ameristan.
Thats because nobody wants to read trash like that.
Sure, some did. But in those novels the same individuals were actually pretty smart.

So everyone beware. /

Morons from Outer Space is a classic you should include
Read more Philip K Dick.

Non-fiction.
