"I have been ruminating the possibility of writing a kind of contrapuntal phantasy. On one level there would be a kind of science fiction vision of what might be, if we used our resources with intelligence and good will.On another level it would be an account of what is actually happening at the present time. On a third level it would be another science fiction vision of what may be expected to happen if we don't behave with intelligence and good will. I can't yet envisage the form of such a book; but if I find a satisfactory form and can work it out in an interesting way, the result might be significant and important. In the mean time I must wait around like Mr. Micawber, for something to turn up---or, romantically, like the scholar gipsy, for the spark from heaven to fall."
