While yes we can both agree the sudden recovery of this footage smells not a little, and that we appear to be bits of tinfoil-on-string to some malevolent government kitten, yes yes yes but, Borlu, however they've come by this evidence, this is the correct decision.

What I always try to do in all my books is to make the stories such that if you don't agree with me politically or you're not interested in the thematics, the story will still keep you turning the pages.

Loads of children read books about dinosaurs, underwater monsters, dragons, witches, aliens, and robots. Essentially, the people who read SF, fantasy and horror haven't grown out of enjoying the strange and weird.

In every book I write, I try to name-check the most prominent influences, or the most prominent conscious influences.

Everything has changed. I cannot be used anymore. Those days are over. I know too much. What I do now, I do for me.

Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they're not absurd.

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