The greatest sci-fi authors were Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke.
Arguments could be made for H.G. Wells.
I also wouldn't argue too strenously if someone nominated Frank Herbert or even Vonnegut.
Or my favourite, Poul Anderson.
But Bradbury? YAWN!
I agree with Duk on this point; I did not find Bradbury great. I much prefer Asimov.
Asimov was much more prolific and wrote on MANY subjects: Chemistry, Physics, and even the Bible. (I have read and in my possession many of his books, mostly about Science, not sci-fi.) I do have his His Foundation Trilogy, which is considered a classic. I have also read LOTS about and by most of the other authors he cited; I have not read Dune by Herbert. At the moment, I am reading (among some 4 other books) an anthology of sci-fi short stories.
Isaac Asimov (/ˈæzɪmɒv/ AZ-im-ov;[b][c] c. January 2, 1920[a] – April 6, 1992) was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke.[2] A prolific writer, he wrote or edited more than 500 books. He also wrote an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards.[d] Best known for his hard science fiction, Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as popular science and other non-fiction.
Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation series,[3] the first three books of which won the one-time Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series" in 1966.[4] His other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series. The Galactic Empire novels are set in the much earlier history of the same fictional universe as the Foundation series.
