So I'm...

[ffutures]

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.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Could be worse... More in tune with him than some of the others on offer. Shame there were no Victorians etc.

Interestingly, I got him, too. I've never heard of him. Can you recommend anything he's written?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

He's much more into science than characterization.

The classic is Mission of Gravity, Ice World and Cycle of Fire are also pretty good.

I was hoping for Philip K. Dick.
I got Olaf Stapledon, of whom I had at least read a book or two.

I got Olaf Stapledon, which is interesting, because a friend just gave me a book of his to read. I had never heard of him before that.

Not a bad author for his time.

Worth reading, though a bit dated in some respects.

I got Hal too.

I tried a couple of "How would Author X answer these questions?" experiments. With X = Heinlein, I got Heinlein. With X = Asimov, I got Clarke, which is understandable, since they were quite similar.
