You want to know what a robot's designed for. And if it's doing something outside the scope of what it's made to do, you should be very suspicious. Daniel H. Wilson designmakerobot Change image and share on social
Robots should stand up for themselves and not try to be humans. They should either utterly destroy us or protect us from aliens. And vampires. And pirates. Daniel H. Wilson aliendestroyhuman Change image and share on social
These days the technology can solve our problems and then some. Solutions may not only erase physical or mental deficits but leave patients better off than 'able-bodied' folks. The person who has a disability today may have a superability tomorrow. Daniel H. Wilson bodieddaydeficit share on social
I wrote a query letter to an editor - a friend of a friend. The editor called me an idiot, told me never to contact an editor directly, and then recommended three literary agents he had worked with before.

In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with, but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped,' I focus on neural implants. Daniel H. Wilson ampedbookchoose share on social
