If you think of your life as a kind of computation, it's quite abundantly clear that there's not going to be a final answer and there won't be anything particularly wonderful about having the computation halt!

Now, being a science fiction writer, when I see a natural principle, I wonder if it could fail.

I like a book better if I can't predict what's going to happen.

At present, however, I don't think the Net is a very good medium for books, books should really be inexpensive lightweight paperbacks you can bang around.

I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end.
