At the root of everything I write is tragedy.

For some time it's been my habit to use images when preparing a speech: rather than write it down, I illustrate it.

With comedy I can search for the profound.

Everything that I write will be signed with my name.

Although, this is often used with negative connotations, I see ideology as an inherent part of culture.

What kind of hard SF do I write? Everything from near-future, Earth-centric techno-thrillers to far-future, far-flung interstellar epics.
