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


Which science fiction writer are you?

I figure you should use that space to plant something to eat in case global disaster strikes, which I think is gonna happen any minute.

You can always plant flowers in amongst the veggies! Gotta have some beauty to feed the spirit, too, you know!

And I got it honestly! On the first attempt! With honest answers!
I am:
Robert A. Heinlein
Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

I dunno who these people are...should I be flattered or insulted?

Which people ... William Gobson, or SF writers in general?

I'll let you know! I realllly hope it comes out well. I think I need to steam just a little rice to go with, it practically demands it even though I'm trying to watch the carbs.

I am not surprised you got RAH either.

Except...does that mean we can expect you to get nuttier and nuttier as you get older, until you go completely off the deep end?

That's one way to go ...

I liked some of Heinlein's wacky stuff, though ... Time Enough For Love, Friday (sorta), Number of the Beast ... I mean, ya gotta love Jubal Harshaw ...!

Green beans, too, maybe? Sauteéd in butter, maybe?

No, I know ... creamed spinach! Is that low-carb-y enough?

I'm thinking of veggies in my freezer now. Which is... brocoli in cheese, or brocoli and carrots. Or spinach but I'm not really a spinach person.
