"My novels are high concept. I guess big ideas interest me more than, say, the minutiae of domestic life."

Previous Quote

If poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, science fiction writers are its court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless.
