Sorry, my choice is none of the above.

D&D is not a generic system, I don't think any of these genres would work well with the rules we have.

Which is why the added books to help run a game to cover any added rules and such, as far as the system its good enough and has good enough frame work to work with to add rules.

I understand your point of view, but to make myself completely clear: in my opinion, in order to play in any of these genres, you would have to get rid of all existing D&D rules and replace them with different rules.

Sorry, not biting. No interest. The game system is "Dungeons & Dragons." It's capable of various levels on the dials of dungeons and dials of dragons: from low-magic to high-magic, gritty to heroic to deity/epic, low "goth" to high "goth", dark ages to clockwork and renaissance-level tech to steam-punkery-ish to ubiquitous magi-tech. Simply put, it's fantasy. That's what D&D does.

"D&D: Modern" is an oxymoron.

If you want horror, sci-fi, superheroes, etc... there are a plethora of amazing individual games that handle those genres and/or game systems that are designed to be used across genres (Fantastic Heroes & Witchery, for example, does great with D&D-type fantasy or sci-fi or cthulu-esque occult/paranormal stuff). D&D is just not one of those games or systems.

I think that Gamma World would be great and would mesh well enough with the D&D rules since it is already a pretty fantastic (though in a different sense) world. I've never played a Gamma World game, but if I did, it would be like Adventure Time which combines D&D fantasy (explicitly at times) with the post-apocolypic zaniness of Gamma World.

I would give an arm and leg for a new edition of Alternity based on 5e.

Hi, my choice for a book is science fiction because I'm curious about the life in other planets. I wanted to know the reality about the story behind Mars which is said to be like Earth. Relatively, I wish to travel in space.

Well you must live under a rock because they have done it many times with d20 modern and Cthulhu d20 old gamma world alternity, star frontiers, so you comment is invalid, move along .
