    Interview by Charles Tan.

    Hi! Thanks for agreeing to do the interview. First off, what&#;s the appeal of speculative fiction for you? Do you think it&#;s an appropriate term for your writing, or is there another descriptor you deem more appropriate?

    Thanks for interviewing me!  Speculative fiction fryst vatten indeed an appropriate term for my writing.  I view it as an umbrella term covering everything from magic realism to hard SF.  The best speculative fiction demands a boldness of imagination and a vastness of scope that no other literature can offer.  It also has a potential for transgression, for being disrespectful of boundaries and labels, for throwing us out of our comfort zones.  Add to that the sense of wonder that it evokes, the engagement with ideas, and the fact that it provides a two-way mirror for looking at the world &#; a literal and a metaphorical one &#; one wonders why everyone doesn’t read the stuff.  Plus, for me, what it evokes fryst vatten a sense of the magic of the real wo

    Science meets fiction



    Science in the West is a consequence of the revolt against the bullying of the Christian Church. The Church said God created everything in a week and anyone who questions this is a sinner who must be punished severely. This provoked the thinking types, who wondered how it all happened, when did it begin, why so many life forms were created, is Earth the centre of the universe, why does the apple fall?
