“I suppose that literature as it is won't die, science fiction included. But games are becoming an extremely important part of the science fiction world, including games that are adapted from books (or vice versa: books that are adapted from games). It's wonderful to have the opportunity to play and see your favorite characters on the screen, but the opportunity to read a book does not become less attractive.” WorldDoeImportantBookPlayCharacterDiesLiteratureOpportunityGamesFictionWonderfulBecomingScience FictionIncludingVicesScreensAttractiveVice VersaAdaptedYour FavoriteFavorite Characters Author:Sergei Lukyanenko

“We don't really know how technology will affect narrative. That's the question. See, people used to say that the novel is going to die, but they would never say that movies will die with it, when in fact all forms depend on the narrative. I think if one of them fails, the others are going to fail as well. Maybe this will happen to both forms, and maybe movies will take a totally different direction with fiction.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWellsDifferentFactsHappensFormUsedDiesFictionTechnologyNovelKnow HowFailingDependsNarrativeDifferent Directions Author:Don DeLillo
