I think that technologies are morally neutral until we apply them. It's only when we use them for good or for evil that they become good or evil.

I think the least important thing about science fiction for me is its predictive capacity.

I can't do fiction unless I visualize what's going on. When I began to write science fiction, one of the things I found lacking in it was visual specificity. It seemed there was a lot of lazy imagining, a lot of shorthand.

I've never really been very interested in computers themselves. I don't watch them; I watch how people behave around them. That's becoming more difficult to do because everything is around them.

If I write something set 60 years in the future, I am going to have to explain how humanity got there, and that's becoming quite a big job.

Science fiction writers aren't fortune tellers. Fortune tellers are fakes.

I'm interested in how people all over the world array themselves and go forth in the morning to do whatever they have to do to make a living.

If I'm practicing making up what the characters will do, it's never good. In fact, when I catch myself doing that, I try to get rid of that section, and try and let them start making the decisions.

Generation X is dead. It has come to mean anyone aged 13 to 55 years old.

My dream scenario would be that you could go into a bookshop, examine copies of every book in print that they're able to offer, then for a fee have them produce in a minute or two a beautiful finished copy in a dust jacket that you would pay for and take home.
