SF is something of a national treasure, and it is no surprise to me that he makes such good sense on this subject.

He has written extensively in several forms, but I feel he is best in brief doses, journalism rather than novels. Paperweight is a collection of his short writings over several years for various purposes, which I can recommend with some pleasure. I believe he has more recently produced a further collection, but I have yet to read it.

His voice as a recorder of audio books is also well worth seeking out imo.
