Seems I’ve got quite the literary mentor

I am: Jules Verne
The 19^th cen­tu­ry French­man who made sci­ence fic­tion into a suc­cess­ful com­mer­cial genre.
Which sci­ence fic­tion writer are you?

So now I’ve been com­pared to Ray Brad­bury, Bret Eas­t­on Ellis, and Chuck Palah­niuk (only two of whom I’ve read, by the by), and Jules Verne.
