My Dream Has Always Been

Time Passes, As The Novelist Says. The Single Most Useful Trick Of Fiction For Our Repair And Refreshment: The Defeat Of Time. A Century Of Family Saga And A Ride Up An Escalator Can Take The Same Number Of Pages. Fiction Sets Any Conversion Rate, Then Changes It In A Syllable. The Narrator’s Mother Carries Her Child Up The Stairs And The Reader Follows, For Days. But World War I Passes In A Paragraph. I Needed 125 Pages To Get From Labor Day To Christmas Vacation. In Six More Words, Here’s Spring.

I Think That If The Novel's Task Is To Describe Where We Find Ourselves And How We Live Now, The Novelist Must Take A Good, Hard Look At The Most Central Facts Of Contemporary Life - Technology And Science.

We Don't Consider The Roles That We're Taking In Making The World The Way It Is.

My Goal For Technology Has Always Been To Reach A Point Where The Technological Mediation Becomes Invisible.
