I would have to go with Philip K. Dick. Though he was an SF and futuristic author, he was also a philosopher with serious introspections and thoughts on the nature of humanity, reality, history, and religion. He believed that no matter how many advances technology and science made, humans at their core remained basically the same. They still fell in love, still had addictions and ambitions, still looked for a deeper meaning in the world. Check out A Scanner Darkly, The Man in the High Castle, Ubik, Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep, and Flow My Tears the Policeman Said.

He might not be entirely futuristic, but I've always enjoyed Philip K Dick.
Isaac Asimov is a close second too.

By futuristic I assume you mean books written in a future setting? If that's the case - my favorite's J.D Robbs and her 'In Death' series. :)

Well, only for one of his books. William Gibson's Neuromancer. But I really like it.
