Sonia Orin Lyris:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Sonia Orin Lyris
I gave this fascinating question some thought, riffling through my memories of the thousands of worlds I've visited in the SF&F genre. So many fabulous and vivid worlds to choose from, but I settled on Ian M. Banks' Culture novels, worlds in which money is no longer social currency, and good health and meaningful work are there for everyone. Gender change, body mod, and galactic travel -- what's not to like?
What would I do there? Everything! Inner travels, outer adventures. I'd see the planets, I'd sail the stars.
And everything I do here, in this world, I would do there: love, dance, make stories, and search out the finest chocolate.
Because, as far as I'm concerned, some things transcend worlds.
