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.


Which science fiction writer are you?

Oh, real big surprise there. ;)

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.

Well...

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

What a joke!

They do not understand the difference between Science Fiction and Fantasy.

On his website he also has a "Are You a Republican" quiz.

I'm at 71%.

Probably would have been higher, but you can only check one option in each category.

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

The author might be a pinko but when I click on the site all I get is a whiteo screen.

Anyway, my favorite science fiction writer is Brian Lumley.

Heinlein can't be right for me- I posted this years ago:

E.E. "Doc" Smith
"While "looking up other things," I ran across a fond old name I hadn't seen in ages-- E. E. "Doc" Smith, father of the Space Opera. I read most of his books as a teenager, and while I frankly recall little other than I wanted to be Blackie DuQuesne, I thought I'd post these links for your enjoyment."

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