The guy who wrote it is a pinko, but you might like to take the test anyway. :)

You're good. I'm only 87% Republican. Oh, well.

I just wish the Republican Party was really that conservative...

Delaney?


That means you are VERY weird. :)

I read "I have no mouth and I must scream" but I thought "The Terminator" was taken from the "Soldier" episode of "Outer Limits." Two opposing entities come from the future. The good guy is detained by the cops. They use animals to help detect the bad guys - cats in "Soldier" - dogs in "The Terminator".

GINO?

I apologize if I'm mistaken. I could have sworn that I read the it was "I Have no mouth but must scream."

Sorry to all.

Turns out that i'm Dr. Jerry Pournelle. Funny, always liked his work, and wish he'd write some new Sci Fi.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

Okaaaaaaaaayy. Let's try this again:

I am: Jerry Pournelle This old-fashioned writer may be the most unapologetic capitalist in the field. He has also been influential in many other fields, from space policy to the computer industry.

Yes, Darwin's Radio and Darwin's Children are both very good.

There's a sequel to Darwin's Radio? Cool. I have Darwin's Radio read unabridged by George Guidall.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Whatever you do, don't start with "Dalghren" it's the strangest thing I've ever read in 40years of sci-fi.

[kcar]

Yes, Mitch and Kaye still primary characters, and their child is weird and wonderful, as are the rest.

[yhwhsman]

I know Greg... good guy, very dry humor, broadly schooled and absolutely frighteningly scary smart.
