“Philip Dick, to my mind, was the great visionary writer of the 20th Century. Alan Moore thinks it’s Lovecraft, but I think Dick contains Lovecraft, and Kafka, and in his own visions recontextualises and adds to them both.”

Doctorow: “The disastrous thing about Napster wasn’t that it it existed, but rather that the record industry managed to kill it.”
