Science Fiction is the jazz of literature.

The fundamental premise of sci-fi is not spaceships and lasers - it's that children can learn from the mistakes of their parents.

But it is a delightful challenge to try to depict interesting aliens.

When it comes to privacy and accountability, people always demand the former for themselves and the latter for everyone else.

Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that, head-on.

I like to be surprised. Fresh implications and plot twists erupt as a story unfolds. Characters develop backgrounds, adding depth and feeling. Writing feels like exploring

The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
