- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have friends who are science journalists, and I'm seeing stories of theirs or talking with them about ideas that they're pitching. Certain kinds of science are around me all the time, like climate change and biology.
- Food Supply
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am interested in agricultural corporations and how they function. The idea that they own the genetics of our food supply is a really compelling thing to me.
- Engineering
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Science fiction has these obsessions with certain sciences - large scale engineering, neuroscience.
- Questions
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the fact that we, as writers, don't engage with resource-level questions is a symptom of our society where we just don't know where our stuff comes from.
- Lose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As far as 'Windup Girl' becoming a hit - none of us expected that. 'Night Shade' was just hoping not to lose their shirts, and I had grown up hearing from everyone that science fiction didn't sell, so all of our expectations were very low.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Originally, 'The Windup Girl' started as a short story - a very gnarly, complicated short story set in Bangkok that didn't work very well.

- Prosperity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that we live in a highly specialized, technologically advanced society. Highly developed societies tend to have very remote understandings about what underlies our prosperity.
- Question
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm interested in how we react when we're heavily pressed. When we're vulnerable and our survival is in question, how do we behave?
- Choose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't know why we choose to reach out to help another person, or why we decide that we can't, and withdraw and try to care only for ourselves, but I'm fascinated by that choice.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started really thinking a lot about where does a country go when we stop being able to speak to each other, when a nation stops being able to solve problems because its ideological differences become so deep that it just becomes dysfunctional.
