Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please.

I'm really excited to see what Lemmy has.

Three names that jump to mind immediately

Octavia E. Butler

Ursula K. Le Guin

Gabriel García Márquez

Le Guin and García Márquez probably had well-known works a bit earlier than 1970 though, maybe 1960ish.
