Hate Is A Disease, And In 1930 I Became Sick With Hatred.

The Literature Now Is So Opaque To The Average Person That You Couldn't Take A Science-fiction Short Story That's Published Now And Turn It Into A Movie. There'd Be Way Too Much Ground Work You'd Have To Lay. It's Ok To Have Detail And Density, But If You Rely On Being A Lifelong Science-fiction Fan To Understand What The Story Is About, Then It's Not Going To Translate To A Broader Audience.

I Probably Spend More Time Writing Than Reading Science Fiction. I Find That Science-fiction Literature Is So Reactive To All The Literature That's Gone Before That It's Sort Of Like A Fractal. It's Gone To A Level Of Detail That The Average Person Could Not Possibly Follow Unless You're A Fan. It Iterates Upon Many Prior Generations Of Iterations.

Climate Change Is Critical To Me Because I'm A Parent; I Feel A Sense Of Responsibility To The Future. I'm Not Going To Be Around To See Its Worst Effects, Which Are Going To Be Hitting In The 2030s, '40s, '50s, But My Kids Will.
