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?

I suppose I ought to track down and read something by the man.

You could start with Solaris, so you can go see how badly they butchered it with the movie (I'm afraid. Very afraid.)

i won't go see the clooney version because i love lem and tarkovsky too much. i'm afraid i'll cry, rant, scream, and pretty much get thrown out of the theater. ;)

It looks to me like it's going to be pretty horribly bastardized... Too damn bad, too.

I've read Solaris. I've seen the poster for the movie. It shows a man and woman kissing. Um, no. No, no, no, no, no.

I'm Brunner or Benford, depending on whether I choose exploration and discovery or peace and justice (I don't think that should be an either/or question. *grump*)

I am David Brin, or Gregory Benford. It depends on whether the glass is brimmingly full, or twice the necessary size.
