Jack McDevitt, l'auteur de Chindi, Les Machines de Dieu et Seeker répond aux questions de Lauren Saner sur inverse.com. Il évoque notamment sa façon de projeter des univers de science fiction dans un futur plausible et des technologies pour prolonger la vie humaine :
Do you do a great deal of research when you’re writing?
Jack McDevitt, : I’ve gotten a fair amount of credit for getting the science more or less right most of the time, but I was an English major and I don’t trust my judgement on a lot of things. So instead of trying to look stuff up, I have physicists and other scientists that I can call and I ask them questions, and they’ll answer them for me. I’m not likely to get that right than if I tried to figure it out for myself. I’ve been doing this for 30 years. They always respond, even when I call out of the blue. I always feel indebted to these people because they not only will tell me what I want, but they seem to enjoy it as much as I do...
