A master literary stylist who is also a working scientist.
Cool stuff.

Samuel Delaney.
Damn. I thought I was Phil Dick. Dhalgren was a trudge even for me.

Kurt Vonnegut -- the only "sci-fi" I've ever read, incidentally.
Posted by: Agnostic | January 27, 2007 8:31 PM
Olaf Stapledon! Cool!

This quiz is set up so you can answer the questions one at a time and get an answer, so you could reverse-engineer it. I pretty much knew that Ursula LeGuinn would be the peace-and-love scifi person, so I just answered that one question and sure enough, it was her. It would be interesting to se whether they have a complex algorithm for combined multi-question results, at all, but I doubt it.

H.G. Wells, me.
Relieved I'm not Ursula LeGuinn.

Cordwainer Smith (Paul M.A. Linebarger)
This inimitably unique storyteller created a future with so many deep layers of history that all the world we know is practically lost in it.
Though I've read little Sci-Fi?!
Posted by: pconroy | January 27, 2007 10:22 PM
Vonnegut. No surprise. Wells would fit slightly better, but those are the obvious two choices.
Posted by: michael vassar | January 28, 2007 1:50 AM
Frank Herbert - not a huge surprise. But I wish it was John Wyndham.

E.E. "Doc" Smith
The inventor of space opera. His purple space war tales remain well-read generations later.

Apparently I'm also Arthur C. Clarke. Except for the fact that both my fiction and my non-fiction writing is crap compared to him (and just about everyone else). But if I'm going to be lumped in with impressive company, Clarke's good company.

Hal Clemment. Sheesh, I never even read any of his stuff. I was holding out for Heinlein...

Apparently I'm James Tiptree, Jr (Alice Bradley Sheldon)
"It is very rarely that a James Tiptree story does not both deal directly with death and end with a death of the spirit, or of all hope, or of the race" -- John Clute
A cheery sort of person, then. ;-)
