Karl Schroeder

There's no possibility that foresight work will ruin my creativity. It goes to a different area than the creative wellspring of SF.

My mother wrote a couple of romances when I was a kid, and I always saw books in our bookshelf with 'Schroeder' on the spine.

If I want to speculate wildly about the future, I have my science fiction. Anybody who tells you they can predict the future is either crazy or lying.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

If you look at satellite photographs of the Far East by night, you'll see a large splotch curiously lacking in light. This area of darkness is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
