Gregory Mone's Blog: Hurry Up & Wait

We were turning off Polk Street in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood when I stopped scanning my email and asked my driver how his day was going. He didn’t answer. I laughed; there was no driver. I was two minutes into my first Waymo ride and I’d completely forgotten that I was sitting inside a robot.

There are self-driving cars cruising all around San Francisco. This is old news to some people

Gregory Mone answered Elizabeth Swift's question: Who actually wrote The Boys in the Boat? I'm confused! Daniel James Brown wrote the original bestselling adult book, and then I worked with him to adapt that into the version for young readers. Collaborations can be confusing! Plus they work a little differently every time. When I ghostwrote the autobiog See Full Answer

Gregory’s Quotes

“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
― Ray Bradbury

“Now, my own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. I have read and heard many attempts at a systematic account of it, from materialism and theosophy to the Christian system or that of Kant, and I have always felt that they were much too simple. I suspect that there are more things in heaven and earth that are dreamed of, or can be dreamed of, in any philosophy. That is the reason why I have no philosophy myself, and must be my excuse for dreaming.”
― J. B. S. Haldane, Possible Worlds
