Dream makers, volume II: the uncommon men & women who write science fiction

Charles Platt spent two years travelling America and England on a personal odyssey to interview thirty top writers in the field of science fiction. The aim was to have the authors tell readers how they created their most famous books, and answer some persistent questions readers might have: are these guys normal, wife-kids-mortgage-and a car in the garage? Each chapter focuses on a different author, and they are in geographical order, starting from the east coast of the US and moving westward. Twenty-eight science fiction writers discuss their lives, literature, views on the present, and visions of the future
