They Speak Very Well Of You". -

My Point Has Always Been That, Ever Since The Industrial Revolution, Science Fiction Has Been The Most Important Genre There Is.

I Think The Future Stopped Looking American When You Think Back To Blade Runner And Neuromancer, When It Started To Look More Japanese.

People Can Be Teachers And Idiots; They Can Be Philosophers And Idiots; They Can Be Politicians And Idiots... In Fact I Think They Have To Be... A Genius Can Be An Idiot. The World Is Largely Run For And By Idiots; It Is No Great Handicap In Life And In Certain Areas Is Actually A Distinct Advantage And Even A Prerequisite For Advancement.

I Think The Easiest People To Fool Are Ourselves. Fooling Ourselves May Even Be A Necessary Precondition For Fooling Others.
