David Brin Bestselling producer of impossible-to-put-down epic adventures in a far-flung future. That was my first response, after answering the questions as me. I'm kinda surprised I didn't get... Isaac Asimov One of the most prolific writers in history, on any imaginable subject. Cared little for art but created lasting and memorable tales. Isaac seems to be the most common one I got, while fiddling around with several different answers. That's probably because he was so ridiculously prolific that he wrote about almost every subject on the "grand theme of life" and "science and technology" list. Here are the other responses I managed to find: Cordwainer Smith This inimitably unique storyteller created a future with so many deep layers of history that all the world we know is practically lost in it. Olaf Stapledon Standing outside the science fiction "field", he wrote fictional explorations of the futures of whole species and galaxies. H.G. Wells The first major literary talent to make himself at home in the science fiction field, greatly expanding its popularity. E.E. "Doc" Smith The inventor of space opera. His purple space war tales remain well-read generations later. 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. Gregory Benford A master literary stylist who is also a working scientist. Ursula K. LeGuin Perhaps the most admired writing talent in the science fiction field. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
