Can you tell us how you started thinking about gods and god-like figures in science fiction? I’m fascinated by the ways people perceive their place in the universe—and that of things that are beyond and greater than them. What I’ve always found interesting is that there’s a range in how authors deal with these themes in speculative fiction, both in science fiction and fantasy. Some have the gods being very present and meddling, and some have them more off to one side.
