Andy wriggled his hips, and waved his hands, and generally boogied on down like he’d never done before. No need to be self-conscious now, there wouldn’t be a tomorrow morning for people to laugh at him and his coordination.

Я смотрел только на предложение, в котором

цитата

Why? The most frequently asked question of them all. Why did you write the Night's Dawn?
Personally I think it's the polite way of asking: what the hell were you thinking of?
...
Okay, so why did I write it. The simple answer is, I had an idea.
...
So— I had the idea. The possessed coming back. After that it's a simple process of extrapolation. Why do they come back? There's a line in the trilogy about devil worshipers praying for centuries for Lucifer to appear, and nothing much seems to have happened. So in this case there has to be another factor introduced, an alien factor.
...
Next, with the basic premise established, the exponential curve of possession sweeping across entire populations, I had to decide what kind of society would stand a chance against such an incursion.
...
The 'old' style space operas tended to be fairly black and white affairs, a straight fight between good and evil. They also tended to concentrate on the hero and villain at the expense of everyone else. Fine back in the time Lensman was written, but the genre as a whole has moved on a bit since then. I wanted to tell the story in a way which illustrated what happens to the archetype little man, by which I mean what happens to society as a whole after such a gigantic physical and spiritual conflict. This is the notion which was the start of my downfall.
...
It's the reason I shaped the political structure of the Confederation the way I did. At a point near the end of Naked God, I describe the Confederation as a vast middle class estate. In other words, very comfortable for the majority. So comfortable in fact, that its stability is guaranteed. However there's a very fine dividing line between stable and stagnant.
...
In this case, the principal heroes and villains have their roles to play, but it is the result of those roles, the influence exerted on everyone else which is the important factor.
...
I became very fond of them all. After six an a half years it was a tremendous relief to finish the trilogy. But at the same time, it was like waving goodbye to friends you've met on holiday and had a good time with, knowing that you probably won't see them again. At least not for quite a while.
