One of the things that I love so much about fantasy and science fiction is that the weirdness that it creates is always at its best completely its own end and also metaphorically and symbolically laden.

The reason that I like SF and fantasy and horror is that to me it's the pulp wing of surrealism. That's the aesthetic of undermining and creative alienation that I really go for.

My sustenance is information. My interventions are hidden. I increase as I learn. I compute, so I am.

I'm a science fiction and fantasy geek.

A city like London was always going to be a paradox, the best of it so very riddled with the opposite, so Swiss-cheesed with moral holes.

I couldn't tell if I was perspicacious or paranoid.

I like the idea of trying to write a book in every genre.
