London Is An Endless Skirmish

I Remember Vividly What It's Like To Read As A 10-year-old - That Passionate Inhabiting Of A Book.

But I Do Think It's Important To Remember That Writers Do Not Have A Monopoly Of Wisdom On Their Books. They Can Be Wrong About Their Own Books, They Can Often Learn About Their Own Books.

I Think The Role Of Science Fiction Is Not At All To Prophesy. I Think It Is To Tell Interesting, Vivid, Strange Stories That At Their Best Are Dreamlike Intense Versions And Visions Of Today.

The Problem With Most Genre Fantasy Is That It's Not Nearly Fantastic Enough. It's Escapist, But It Can't Escape.

You Can't See The Future, There's No Such Thing. It's All Bets. You'll Never Get The Same Answer From Two Seers. But That Doesn't Mean Either Of Them's Wrong.
