The Internet is a tool, a technology, and we like to say that it has all of these properties, but really, it's just a place where our writing is.

Like most writers, I find the Web is a wonderful distraction. Who doesn't need that last minute research before writing?

I think the advent of the Internet gave us all a big boost, because by the time the Internet became mainstream and you could get it in your home, a lot of us were used to dealing in fan culture, writing to magazines or anything at the back of comic books.

Mostly, research is much more fun than the actual writing.

There's a great social component to being a writer, to being an artist.

Science fiction writers missed the most salient feature of our modern era: the Internet.

The thing about the Internet is that you can write something... for a very narrow audience and make a living at it.

The notion of the Internet as a force of political and social revolution is not a new one. As far back as the early 1990s, in the early days of the World Wide Web, there were technologists and writers arguing forcefully that the Internet was destined to become the most important tool for cultural change in human history.

As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.
