I don't know the metrics involved here and obviously the analysis can't include things like tone and symbolism, but it's an interesting exercise. It's not exact, of course. Different sections of The Franchise returned different results (Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, and Charles Dickens--although the Clarke analysis was remarkably consistent). The program isn't suggesting my writing is up to the level of those great authors--it's simply saying there's an echo of their style and word choice reflected in my prose.
A fun exercise nonetheless.
I took a few sections of text from some of the authors I've recently read...here's what the program came up with:
Adam Christopher (Empire State, Angry Robot)
Susan Jane Bigelow (Broken, Candlemark & Gleam)
Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles)
George R.R. Martin (A Clash of Kings, Bantam)
Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island)
