Completely with you on the Lovecraft, I noticed its absence when I first read the list, but at least that's a legitimate omission given the time parameters. And Cherryh as well, although I'm less immediately convinced of her influence. I disagree on Neuromancer, though. I've taught cyberpunk with short stories and no Neuromancer, and I find myself telling students the plot and explaining a lot of its influence time and time again. Definitely King, although I'm not sure which novel, I don't know them well enough. I've always thought he's hopelessly underrated as a science fiction author.
