Courtesy of BoingBoing I notice a link to Paul Kienetz's "Whch Science Fiction Writer Are You" quiz. I took the quiz and found that I'm Kurt Vonnegut. I can't tell you how relieved I am - can you imagine being identified with Ray Bradbury or some dragon rider fantasy hack? I would've been thrilled with Heinlein or Ballard but I have to be honest in that my writing style and themes are closer to Vonnegut. But I wonder how many sci-fi writers it takes to span the spectrum of permutations of his quiz responses? And just what does it mean to be associated at some vector in that that space? Can we take the quiz and differentiate between who we are and who we want to be? Hmmmm, anyone else want to see who they are identified with?

I am:Kurt VonnegutFor years, this unique creator of absurd and haunting tales denied that he had anything to do with science fiction.

Which science fiction writer are you?
