“Labels don't mean much to me one way or another -- except when they close the minds of potential readers. I'd much rather we do away with genres and simply file everything under fiction.

“I think the least important thing about science fiction for me is its predictive capacity. Its record for being accurately predictive is really, really poor! If you look at the whole history of science fiction, what people have said is going to happen, what writers have said is going to happen, and what actually happened - it's terrible.” PeopleIfsThinkingLooksSaidImportantWholeHappensPoorFictionRecordsHappenedTerribleCapacityImportant ThingsScience FictionHistory Of Science Author:William Gibson
“I do have a collection of mid-century, small-press science fiction and fantasy hardcovers that is my most focused and dedicated collection. Everything else I tend more to acquire or amass than collect. I have vinyl records I listen to all the time when I work. But I don’t collect records. I just buy records where the price seems right and it’s music I actually listen to.” SeemsFictionFantasyRecordsCenturyScience FictionPressesFocusedAcquireCollectionsDedicatedVinylScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:Michael Chabon
