Novel-writing is the only place where someone who would have liked to do anything can still do that vicariously.
From Richard Powers
Until I was 42, I could fit everything that I owned into two suitcases.
My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.
I don't mind arguing with myself. It's when I lose that it bothers me.
Out of grad school, I worked as a tech writer for a while before going into computer coding for a living.
I think that if the novel's task is to describe where we find ourselves and how we live now, the novelist must take a good, hard look at the most central facts of contemporary life - technology and science.
