I should add that it is open to debate whether what we call the writing of history these days is truly scientific.

The media thinks that you have to make science sexy and concentrate on themes such as rivalry and the human issues.

I find the science behind major natural events almost more interesting than the way in which those same events wreak their effects on human society.

There's conflict in every story.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

When you're a writer, you're always looking for conflict. It's conflict that drives great stories.

Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
