I often wish I was more oblivious. I have nowhere near the same level of understanding as any of these fine authors.
Ted Chiang is one that is exceptional - if you've not read his collections of short stories, they are what I aspire to as an author of fiction, when I write it.
If I can achieve 10%, or even single digit percentages of the greatness of either of these writers, I will absolutely be overjoyed.
The closest I've ever come, I think, is my story, "Atomic Orgins".
