“What does a science fiction writer know about?”

Isaac Fitzgerald bio ↓  ·  August 13th, 2009  ·  filed under books

“I can’t claim to be an authority on anything, but I can honestly say that certain matters absolutely fascinate me, and that I write about them all the time. The two basic topics which fascinate me are “What is reality?” and “What constitutes the authentic human being?” Over the twenty-seven years in which I have published novels and stories I have investigated these two interrelated topics over and over again.”

Philip K. Dick on reality, humanity, time, the universe, and the possibilities of science fiction: “How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later.” (via @karllong)
