It's very strange writing science fiction in a world that moves as fast as ours does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are living in a science fiction world.
Science fiction is my way of pushing the imagination onward. It's a way to understand how the world will look in the future.
I'm not a science fiction writer, I'm a physicist.
There's nothing quite as exciting or moving as the very finest literary non-fiction.
My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.
Many fiction writers who put the science in don't get it right.
I have a kind of standard explanation why, which goes like this: Science fiction is one way of making sense out of a senseless world.
Doing science fiction at a high level is tricky. It's really tricky.
I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.
Novel writing is the slowest art form in the world. It is not a sprint. It is not even a marathon. It is a series of marathons that stretch over and over across a continent.
