I don't think most of my opinions, political or social, are so far outside of the mainstream that they'd cause massive outrage on a scale liable to provoke death threats or referrals to prosecutors for outraging public decency, so why worry?

My gut feeling is that SF as we know it today is actually a heavily propagandized field that grew out of a specific set of cultural trends running in the USA and Europe between 1918 and 1950, during the post-imperial modernization period.

The chip that functions abnormally will be desoldered, as they say.

I like lassic British spy thrillers. Seriously. If the cold war was still on, that's something I'd be writing.

I don't keep anything on paper (except within an actual novel in progress, at which point I need a file to keep track of plot threads, characters, and so on).

The late 90s were crazy science-fictional if you were inside the superheated steam bubble of the dot-com 1.0 industry.

We're currently living with a generation of established novelists who are embarrassingly out of date with respect to social networking, internet skills, and so on.
