People
"When something hasn't been around much for a while, and one example of it turns up and catches people's eyes, they go looking for more like it - until they get tired of it again."
People
"Some of the biggest changes that have happened are behind the scenes, in the way we produce the magazine. E.g., much of our production has been brought in-house via desktop publishing."
Media
"Usually if nobody hates a piece, nobody loves it, either; and a magazine which sets itself the goal of provoking thought is not doing its job if everybody agrees with what it does."
Thought
"It's easy to imagine ways the future can be ugly and depressing. It's harder, but more worthwhile, to imagine plausible ways we can make it better."
Future
"It's most presumptuous to believe we already know all the answers and will never get any more big surprises."

Fiction

Change
"I think the rising and falling popularity of areas like hard SF and far-future SF is, to a considerable extent, the same as any other fashion."
