You have advance technology that can bring a dead author back to life, who would it be?

I've really enjoyed many Lovecraft tales so it would be him

Tolkien - I'd love to sit in a room with him and see what he made of the films; it'd be interesting to see whether or not he enjoys them.

Schopenhauer- I know that I would love to see what he would write today... That and we could probably talk for hours.

Damn ninjas are out in force today, I'd say.

Them ninjas are everywhere, except I would see if Tolkien would be the DM for a D&D game, and its his own homebrew campaign.

Alexandre Dumas. That arrogant prick and master story teller, I would love to unleash him on an unsuspecting modern world. Shit he'd be the most popular author in the world in a heart flash ... beat.

And Plato, that guy's got some explaining to do about Atlantis. Just clear that metaphor right up please.

Douglas Adams. No one else. i need more dirk gently. i need more hitchhiker. but there will be never more of it...except the horrible-to-average eoin colfer fanfiction.

And related to that, a pre-alzheimer pratchett would be nice. not that i dislike his books now, but i don't want him to stop. He shall turn a zombie and write forever and ever, i say!

Freaking ninjas... I have to get to Barnes & Noble and actually read The Count of Monte Cristo, though...

Ayn Rand. Mainly because I'd just like to thank her for The Fountainhead. It would also be interesting to know what she thought of current events, but that's secondary. In true Ayn Rand style, I don't care too much about what other people think.

Edgar Allan Poe. Am I scarily obsessed with his writing? Perhaps. But anyone who codifies and invents the modern detective story wins in my book. Before there was Sherlock Holmes, there was C. Auguste Dupin.

Plus I'd love to get a chance to talk to him and see what he was really like.

I think I'll jump on board the Douglas Adams train, with a connection at the Michael Crichton junction. Two of my favourite authors EVER.

Mary Shelley.

And then I'd ask her if re-animation is anything like what she originally wrote about.

Shakespeare. Dude was one of the greatest writers of all time, knew how to do characters, to stir things up and could fill up a theater.

This, a thousand times this! Douglas Adams is a god and he died way to soon.
