"People ask me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research." ― Frederik Pohl Topic(s): Science More From Frederik Pohl "I don’t think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them." "I’m pretty catholic about what constitutes science fiction." "In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it." More In Science "I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven’s wonderful."― Jeri Ryan "I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time."― Octavia Butler "Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good."― Thomas Sowell
