I am: Arthur C. Clarke Well known for nonfiction science writing and for early promotion of the effort toward space travel, his fiction was often grand and visionary.

I am: Kurt Vonnegut For years, this unique creator of absurd and haunting tales denied that he had anything to do with science fiction.

Awesome

I am: Isaac Asimov One of the most prolific writers in history, on any imaginable subject. Cared little for art but created lasting and memorable tales.

I am: Hal Clement (Harry C. Stubbs) A quiet and underrated master of "hard science" fiction who, among other things, foresaw integrated circuits back in the 1940s.

I am: Frank Herbert His style is often stilted, but he created what some consider the greatest SF novel of all time.

I am: Stanislav Lem This pessimistic Pole has spent a whole career telling ironic stories of futility and frustration. Yet he is also a master of wordplay so witty that it sparkles even when translated into English.

My favorite is Lem by a long shot.

Hoorah. I was expecting Le Guin or Disch, but I'm very happy with Sam the Man with the Plan.

I am: James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice B. Sheldon) In the 1970s she was perhaps the most memorable, and one of the most popular, short story writers. Her real life was as fantastic as her fiction.

I am so thrilled the internet polling community is able to distill ones personality into almost any paradigm. The insights to human knowledge gained from such polls as "What Star Wars Character Are You?" and "Which 2004 American Presidential Candidate (Early Primary Season) Are You?" will keep psychologists and sociologists busy for years.

Oh, and...

I am: Philip José Farmer This prolific author brings surprising depths to he-man adventure tales, and broke science fiction's prudery barrier.

Not bad.

In case you're being ironic, so far, this test is awesome.

Yes, but I think he works better in collaberation with Larry Niven. You might want to check out their Mote in Gods Eye (grand, wide space opera) and Footfall (Earth gets invaded by stupid aliens - Harry Turtledove stole this idea and moved it back 30 years for his Worldwar books) for starters.

He's written books with sexy bits in them.


Bad man.


I did like the first few Riverworld books though....



Although that said, my S.F. optimal persona wrote a notoriously filthy book called 'Tides of Lust' which I daren't even provide a link to, because some mods might think I'm a mammy-ramming porno pirate pervo.

Not that I'm thinking of anyone in particular...
