Your list is still mostly US authors. A few suggestions:
Memory of Water, Emmi Itaranta
Ambiguity Machines, Vandana Singh
Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne
Solaris, Stanislaw Lem (also made into a very good film by Tarkovsky)
Smilla's Sense of Snow, Peter Hoeg (also made into a very good film)
The Fifth Element, Luc Besson director
Thanks, Athena! That's very helpful.
