I write like William Gibson apparently. Now that is cool.

I am confused, I pasted a work document, and it said I write like Cory Doctorow. Then I pasted an email and it said I write like Stephen King.
Clearly my emails are much simpler and feature obvious plot devices.

You write like Stephen King? Taking 1600 pages to tell a 400 page story? Still, there are worse writers out there.
I’m just glad it didn’t say I write like a collaboration between Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee, because those books were awful.
