I like a book better if I can't predict what's going to happen.

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

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

The hard fact is that not everyone does get published.

Traditional science is all about finding shortcuts.

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

It's tedious to watch something very obvious being worked out, like a movie that's not particularly good and after about half an hour you know how it's going to end.

It's soothing to realize that my mind's processes are inherently uncontrollable.

Selling a book or story has never become absolutely automatic for me.

In any case, A New Kind of Science is a wonderful book, and I'm still absorbing its teachings.
