My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.

This was my goal to reach this point. But we were thankful to have that building, too.

My dream has always been to suspend myself in space when I write, and lying horizontal in bed is the closest to doing that.

Our goal is to be invisible.

I think that if the novel's task is to describe where we find ourselves and how we live now, the novelist must take a good, hard look at the most central facts of contemporary life - technology and science.

Novel-writing is the only place where someone who would have liked to do anything can still do that vicariously.
