I'm Alfred Bester

[mckitterick]

I am: Alfred Bester: A pyrotechnic talent who put only a small portion of his energy into writing.
Which science fiction writer are you?

Cool, I love Bester! Some good questions, but it was missing most of the choices I'd need for an accurate analysis... I guess this just means that they don't have "Chris McKitterick" as a possible outcome *g*

I've got to say, Bester was one of the finest.

Have you read much of Lloyd Biggle, Jr.? I loved at least three of his books greatly. Monument should have stayed a short story. His papers may be at KU -- he did come to Jim's class one summer -- 1979, I think.

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

I am: William Gibson The chief instigator of the "cyberpunk" wave of the 1980s, his razzle-dazzle futuristic intrigues were, for a while, the most imitated work in science fiction.

This means I can hardly read my own writing!!

Strange, but interesting.

I love Bester, and I love Tiptree, too, and she's another option. But I get Brin. I think I"m too cheerful or something.

Many interesting choices, and good ones... but Mickey Spillane? Was someone smoking crack when they threw in that one?
