In case you were wondering, the science fiction writer I’m (apparently) most like is Gregory Benford, A master literary stylist who is also a working scientist.
I’m not sure how accurate that assessment is, though: The real Greg Benford once took this quiz, and it told him he was Arthur C. Clarke.
I’d have preferred Alfred Bester or Harlan Ellison — hey, if Ayn Rand and Mickey Spillane are considered sci-fi writers in the quiz, HE surely qualifies — although I’ve got very little in common with the latter.

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.
Me: Heinlein
I haven’t even read any of his books…. Sad I know.
