What kind of science fiction writer are you?

I am:
Stanislav Lem
This pessimistic Pole has spent a whole career telling ironic stories of futility and frustration. Yet he is also a master of wordplay so witty that it sparkles even when translated into English.


Which science fiction writer are you?

The Cyberiad is one of my favorite books. I've written Cyberiad fan-fiction. If you're Lem-ish, I should *definitely* read your stuff.

Not so fast...

Having never read Lem (but seen Tarkovsky's Solaris) I can't really compare my pitiful output to him. At the moment I probably resemble Howard Waldrop more than anyone else.

I guess what the quiz was saying is that Lem is the kind of writer I aspire to be.
