Jonathan Nolan

People are fascinated, for whatever reason, by human drama, and the idea that cameras are capturing ambient stories.

I'm not a big believer in doing too much research - I think you can get lost in it. You can get constrained by it, which I think is a mistake. But if you've done your homework, the audience feels it.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

I have given myself dork shivers so many times that I would be an outright liar if I characterized myself as anything other than a pure, utter, and unadulterated dork.

What kind of hard SF do I write? Everything from near-future, Earth-centric techno-thrillers to far-future, far-flung interstellar epics.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
