Now, being a science fiction writer, when I see a natural principle, I wonder if it could fail.

I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end.

If all else fails, there's always print or web zines.

If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.

Lately I’ve been working to convince myself that everything is a computation.

A computation is a process that obeys finitely describable rules.

Computations are everywhere, once you begin to look at things in a certain way.

All living things are gnarly, in that they inevitably do things that are much more complex than one might have expected.

The world is magic. Science is but an insipid style of sorcery.

Traditional science is all about finding shortcuts.

At present, however, I don't think the Net is a very good medium for books, books should really be inexpensive lightweight paperbacks you can bang around.

I mean, I went to a Catholic boys' school for a year, but that was to play hockey. Religion class was quite contentious for me.

You see, the problem with me is I'm so good even my friends think I'm doing something wrong. Flair and flamboyance is not illegal. It may be detestable, it may be offensive, but it's not illegal.

They can give you all the pills on earth and do whatever - and you're still yourself.

I always take my wife morning tea in my pyjamas. But is she grateful? No, she says she'd rather have it in a cup.

America was built on an attempted genocide, anyway. Guns were completely necessary.

In the ambiguity and shifting playing field of adult life, I often wish I could just fill in a dot and have someone say “Yes” and hand me a chicken leg, or “No” and slap me with an old fish.

I don't necessarily support Romney, I don't consider myself a Republican. I'm pretty much an independent.

Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.
