Ever since reading Robert Silverberg's "Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another", I've been convinced that Isaac Asimov will be one of the first re-created personalities. Just feed his 500+ books in the machine and see what happens. 2. Be nice to your editors: they may be your ticket to a better reincarnated you. 3. Have a look at Don Foster's <em>Author Unknown</em> for a good perspective on how individual writing styles can be analysed and recognized. It's hardly a perfect argument (he did identify Joe Klein as the author of <em>Primary Colors</em>, but he eventually recanted his "discovery" of a lost Shakespeare poem), but it's the kind of thing to make all pseudonymous authors think twice about their chances of remaining unidentified.
