Summary

Inspired by Neal Stephenson's "A Remarkable Assertion from A16Z" and the ensuing Hacker News discussion, this PR fixes factual inaccuracies and broken Wikipedia links.

As one HN commenter noted: "I don't see any pull request fixing this yet."

Well, there is now.

Fixes #8.

I've enjoyed many of these books—thanks for putting this list together. The Inhuman Centipede eats its own tail.

Factual corrections:
- Neal Stephenson: Fix name spelling, remove false "mid-sentence" claim
- Dune: Heretics of Dune published 1984, not 1982
- Le Guin: Fix "ansible" typo
- LOTR: Credit Peter Jackson, not Hugo Weaving
- Neil Gaiman: Add Pratchett co-credit, fix Stardust year (1999)

Link fixes:
- Stardust_(novel) → Stardust_(Neil_Gaiman_novel)
- Galactic_Empire_(series) → Galactic_Empire_series
- Light_Bringer → Light_Bringer_(novel)
- Dark_Age_(Pierce_Brown_novel) → Dark_Age_(novel)
- Children_of_Memory → Children_of_Memory_(novel)

They stop mid-sentence?
