More From Ivan Reitman

I'm an amateur science enthusiast. i'm not even a professional enthusiast. i don't know anything; i never even passed biology in high school. but i read the science section of the newspaper.
School Biology Newspapers
It had also been my belief since i started writing fiction that science fiction is never really about the future. when science fiction is old, you can only read it as being pretty much about the moment in which it was written. but it seemed to me that the toolkit that science fiction had given me when i started working had become the toolkit of a kind of literary naturalism that could be applied to an inherently incredible present.
Writing Belief Kind
I have always been intensely uncomfortable with the idea of a science fiction writer as prophet. not that there haven't been science fiction writers who think of themselves as having some sort of prophetic role, but when i think of that, i always think of h.g. wells - he would think of what was going to happen, and he would imagine how it would happen, and then he would create a fiction to illustrate the idea that he'd had. and no part of my process has ever resembled that at all.
Thinking Imagine Science Fiction
I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category. science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though i have greatly enjoyed some of the work of ursula leguin. i haven't read much science fiction so i don't know other sci-fi authors.

Science fiction, as i mentioned before, writes about what is neither impossible nor possible; the fact is that, when the question of possibility comes up in science fiction, the author can only reply that nobody knows. we haven't been there yet. we haven't discovered that yet. science fiction hasn't happened.
