Charles Stross Zitate

Science fiction was rocket-mad for about 40 years until aerospace hit a brick wall about 1970. I would not write off space colonisation or exploration completely, but we are profoundly ill adapted for going boldly into outer space.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Science-Fiction war ungefähr 40 Jahre lang verrückt, bis die Luft- und Raumfahrt etwa 1970 gegen eine Ziegelmauer stieß. Ich würde die Besiedlung oder Erkundung des Weltraums nicht vollständig abschreiben, aber wir sind zutiefst krank, wenn wir mutig in den Weltraum gehen.

Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain.

Julian May

Science fiction writers aren't short of ideas. You can read a book, and it sets off a chain of thought processes, so it becomes a response to other people's books.

Alastair Reynolds

If I'm desperate, I'll read anything. But even when I can be choosy, I still have no hard-and-fast rules. I have rules about what I won't read, rather than what I will. No science fiction, no romance, no chick lit. Although even these rules can be broken.

Sonya Hartnett

I was attracted to science fiction because it was so wide open. I was able to do anything and there were no walls to hem you in and there was no human condition that you were stopped from examining.

Octavia E. Butler

So I wrote what I hoped would be science fiction, I was not at all sure if what I wrote would be acceptable even. But I don't say that I consciously wrote with humour. Humour is a part of you that comes out.

Robert Sheckley

When I wrote 'Neuromancer', I had a list in my head of all the things the future was assumed to be which it would not be in the book I was about to write. In a sense, I intended 'Neuromancer', among other things, to be a critique of all the aspects of science fiction that no longer satisfied me.

William Gibson

If I want to speculate wildly about the future, I have my science fiction. Anybody who tells you they can predict the future is either crazy or lying.

Karl Schroeder

That's what I always liked about science fiction - you can make the world end. Humour is my multiple warhead delivery system.

Gary Shteyngart

I see every book as a problem that you have to solve. That is what dictates the form you use. It's not that you say, 'I want to write a science fiction book.' You start from the other end, and what you have to say dictates the form of it.

Doris Lessing
