People as me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research.

My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature - science fiction is written according to the science fiction method.

The science fiction method is dissection and reconstruction.

That's what life is, just one learning experience after another, and when you're through with all the learning experiences you graduate and what you get for a diploma is, you die.

You can't really predict the future. All you can do is invent it.

They were two lovely choices. One of them meant giving up every chance of a decent life forever...and the other one scared me out of my mind.

In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it.
