I tend to avoid melodrama. I try to create very realistic settings and very realistic experiences and realistic responses to these experiences. Melodrama is the use of really big events that may or may not happen in real life - certainly they do, but they're not events that are common to most people. Most of the things that happen in my novels are things that could happen to people in real life.
A computer is the most incredible tool we've ever seen.

They happen once every 40 or 50 years, so it's very exciting to be a filmmaker, working while one of them is happening.
