Actually I had to cancel my trip to Budapest at the last minute. The closest I've ever gotten to your part of the world is Prague and Athens. Postrevolutionary societies are always interesting. East Europe a fun place to study because there are a lot of different societies all being subjected to the same ordeal by high technology. There are millions of people.
People are all over the place.
Boy, that's a good question. I'd like to write some science fiction that would do things that science fiction has never been able to do before. Also I like to show people aspects of reality that they themselves are unable to see. I used to be very interested in making other writers change the way they wrote, but I don't lecture them very much any more. Now I'm mostly interested in writing things that I know that only I can write.
