Does anybody get early scifi writers constantly confused?

I can't tell the difference between Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clark.

I know Heinelen was a fascist and Philip K. Dick was crazy, but that's it.

Heinlen was an anti-Authoritarian, which is pretty much the opposite of a fascist. PKD had some troubled personal relationships with people, but I definitely wouldn't call him crazy.

The difference between Asimov and Bradbury would be immediately apparent if you read their works. Their writing styles aren't even similar, you can't really compare Dandelion Wine with Foundation I for example.

Heinlein supported and defended the usage of nuclear weapons for the good of the state.

The difference is that Bradbury and PKD are actually extremely talented writers while Asimov and Clark are science enthusiasts/professionals who happened to get famous writing fiction.

>pkd an extremely talented writer

It's really easy to write characters that know nothing and do nothing but drugs. All you have to do is know nothing and do nothing but drugs.

>Isaac Asimov

>and Arthur C. Clark.
The guy who was most famous for being a raging pedophile.

So why are Asimov and Clarke more celebrated than Bradbury?
