Robert Heinlein, et al.
We can and will add others whom we acknowledge or even admire, but I am willing to bet that of all the science fiction writers, Heinlein is held in the highest regard here.
"I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's; that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces — with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way the government sticks its nose into everything, now.

(But even this one resource provides a rich array to choose from.)
Every law that was ever written opened up a new way to graft. -- Red Planet (1949)

But the master was and is Heinlein
the one book I'm missing has a section about equating cooking with chemistry does that ring any bells?
Heinlein's The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress should be required reading for every teenager, along with The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
Orwell was a better writer and novelist than Rand tho' there is an absence of over-riding philosophy and a general pessimism that create unease in the reader.
Orwell's political affiliation will shock many but once the reader is aware of this it makes the political and social narratives in his stories more poignant.
