The Davis Enterprise, the local newspaper for Davis, California, the city where Kim Stanley Robinson lives, recently interviewed Robinson.

On Galileo's Dream, "I had this image of him [Galileo] flying through a telescope to Jupiter. In a sense, I came to Galileo almost backwards, because I didn’t know about him 20-30 years ago. But I got to be very fond of him."

On 2312 that's coming out next year, "It’s an attempt to discuss the human world 300 years from the publication date".

On e-books vs physical books, "I personally prefer to read physical books", but "I’ve talked to people who’ve said they’ve read ‘Galileo’s Dream’ on their iPhone. It’s all text, and it really doesn’t matter what the format is."

...and various other topics.
