“The computer has evolved into a partner, a tool, and an environment--not just in science fiction, but in the public consciousness as well. Computers are no longer malevolent iron brains that manufacture tyrannical and oppressive answers; they are not a way to think, they are a place from which to think. The computer is an environment in which answers can be sought, created, manipulated and developed.” ThinkingWayWellsAnswersBrainConsciousnessFictionEnvironmentComputerToolsScience FictionPartnersIron Author:David Gerrold

“At times of crisis or distress, it's poems that people turn to. (Poetry) still has a power to speak to people's feelings, maybe in a way that fiction, because it works in a longer way, can't. There's a little bit of your brain that mourns and grieves that you're not writing poetry, but actually as long as I'm writing something, I'm happy.” PeopleWayWritingLittlesLongStillsFeelingsTurnsSpeakBitsBrainFictionLittle BitCrisisGrievingDistressMournWriting PoetryTimes Of Crisis Author:Blake Morrison
“I think our conception of literature should accommodate not only apolitical writers but also those whose political opinions we find unpalatable. Fiction after all comes from a different, less rationally manipulable side of the brain.
