coalescentAn interview with Ken Macleod.
(1) Charlie Stross has a walk-on part in Cosmonaut Keep that I completely missed. Not surprising, since at the time I read it I'd never heard of the man.
(2) Ken's favourite of his novels is The Stone Canal.
(3) His next novel (called Newton's Wake) jumps on the singularity bandwagon.
Reading interviews like this, it strikes me that scottish SF is in a situation not dissimilar to that of global SF in the 'golden age': Everyone knows each other, and there's a lot of cross-pollination of ideas. And in Spectrum SF, it's almost even got its own magazine.
