More From Martin Landau

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
It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. a physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects--say crystals and x-rays. but very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.
Rays World May
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.
Couple Book Fall
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.
Writing Fiction Facts
The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeeth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. therefore jules verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. it would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.

Littles Realizing Little Things
My spiritual life is... sometimes i have access to it and sometimes i don't. when i do have access to it, it's usually a sense of my understanding what the best course of action or the best thing for me to do. by best, i mean when i have a real sense of doing the right thing and doing good for people and the connected universe of everybody.
Spiritual Real Mean
Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.
