I'd never been to a science-fiction convention until I became a professional writer.

Personally I don't like it when writers become excessively proscriptive about the way that people read their books.

I think science fiction is very bad at prediction.

Books are always obviously having conversations with other books, and some times they're amiable and sometimes not.

Anything for gold and experience.

If you're brave enough to try, you might be able to catch a train from UnLondon to Parisn't, or No York, or Helsunki, or Lost Angeles, or Sans Francisco, or Hong Gone, or Romeless.

A trap is only a trap if you don't know about it. If you know about it, it's a challenge.
