Quote

My favourite movie is: Dr Strangelove. (I haven't seen any films released in the past 2-5 years, I'm afraid: I don't do TV/cinema).

A dark-skinned human with four arms walks toward me across the floor of the club, clad only in a belt strung with human skulls.

Experiments in digitizing and running neural wetware under emulation are well established some radical libertarians claim that, as the technology matures, death with its draconian curtailment of property and voting rights will become the biggest civil rights issue of all.

No two books come out the same way. Some I write by the seat of my pants others are planned in minute detail.

The trouble is, if you go too far towards being polite, the label that applies is doormat.

Had enough of my poetry yet? That's why they pay me to fight demons instead.

You'll still get guys with an array of badges to demonstrate their importance, but that just excludes people. I think fandom is more inclusive now.

My gut feeling is that SF as we know it today is actually a heavily propagandized field that grew out of a specific set of cultural trends running in the USA and Europe between 1918 and 1950, during the post-imperial modernization period.

I believe modern SF needs to at least be aware of the singularity, if only so that it can dismiss it intelligently (or work around it). But I suspect the singularity is like faster-than-light travel for the IT generation. We may hope for it, and the rules don't forbid it, but we don't know how to do it yet (and it may not be possible).

Speech recognition is utterly crap for writing fiction. If you try reading a novel aloud you'll soon figure out why - written prose style is utterly unlike the spoken word.

The chip that functions abnormally will be desoldered, as they say.

Any civilization where the main symbol of religious veneration is a tool of execution is a bad place to have children.

I'm not planning a kickstarter game. And I'm not really a game designer.

I have not watched the TV show. I do not generally watch TV sci-fi drama shows. They make me itch.

I'm a fuzzy-headed warm-hearted liberal, and I think fuzzy-headed warm-hearted liberalism is an ideological stance that needs defending-if necessary, with a hob-nailed boot-kick to the bollocks of budding totalitarianism.

I write exclusively using computers. Pens and typewriters can fsck right off - I wrote my first half million words in my teens on a manual typewriter (had to trade it for a new one due to keys snapping from metal fatigue) so I am not a pen or typewriter fetishist.

Fiction is about human beings, first and foremost. (It's not impossible to write fiction with no human protagonists, but it's very hard to keep the reader interested ...)

Time is a corrosive fluid, dissolving motivation, destroying novelty, and leaching the joy from life.

While writing a novel I almost completely stop reading books in the same sub-genre for the duration.

I tend to think that immortal souls, invisible sky daddies, and Santa Claus all belong in the same basket. The disposition of that basket is left as an exercise for the reader.
