| TW: You’ve said that we can imagine what the future looks like because we’re eventually going to get there, but we can’t really imagine the past, because it’s gone. I’m wondering if that’s what draws you to writing about it. CW: I love history. History is the raw data if you want to understand human beings. The only way to see what human beings are like is to see what they do in all kinds of different situations and try to extrapolate from that what they might do in other situations. It is so endlessly fascinating. I feel it’s sad that history is so badly taught. I mean, there are wonderful teachers out there, but when you ask most people about history, they’re just like, “Oh. Gaawwwd. Kill me now. So boring.” And I don’t know why that is, because it’s just the greatest reality show ever. It’s just got so much stuff. That’s why I like to focus on real history as opposed to made-up history. A lot of people do alternate histories in science fiction. |
