Lois McMaster Bujold:
I read somewhere that your father was a prominent engineer; did his work influence the engineering-technical aspects of your writing? I'm thinking of the Habitat reconfiguration in Falling Free, the bubble-car system on Komarr, the soletta disaster, and Cordelia and Ekaterin's discussion of city planning for Sergyar.

Oh, yes.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
First, thank you for all you've written, especially the Vorkosigan Saga; Aral and Jole and Cordelia's relationship meant a lot to me; I've been in a similar position to Jole's re: Aral (age, power, love), and "but he's ooold! it's immoral! how dare?" But re: the Betan herms. I know they're not intersex, but I am, and reading them meant a lot to me. I'd been wondering if there was any early Moravian influence there?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I'm afraid to ask a question which must have been asked before, but here we go: For the Vorkosigan saga, did you decide for specific reasons to imagine a science-fi world without any aliens, or does the world came naturally to your mind already formed like that, with genetically altered humans but no aliens at all? Or is it the reflect of a personal conviction about science-fi credibility?
