Let me join in the welcome-back chorus. We have missed you, Matt! -Like David, I devoured Dostoyevsky in my late teens. Great literature has the priceless advantage over philosophy of bringing moral issues to life while enabling its readers to experience them from different perspectives ... which we can rarely do in reality.-David, the core of your book is timeless, but science and even your own thinking have moved on. As unofficial President of your British fan club, I shall continue to campaign for a new book, or at least a revised edition! -And Matt, if you are going to write that novel, write it now. The world is full of authors who never quite managed to write their books.
