I have a feeling that this article is going to be a very depressing read 20-40 years from now.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind isn't on this list. This is an oversight, a travesty, and it makes me sad.

you have forgotten to add "Lucifer's Hammer" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, it's a pretty good post-apocalyptic novel from the seventies :)

I have a strong suspicion that far more than 9% of io9 readers would have sex with a robot.
