Graeme Shimmin:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Graeme Shimmin
My family and I have a running joke that we want to live in the Federation.
In my case at least, it's not a joke – I would much prefer to live in the world of Star Trek than in our current dystopia. There's not a single species of bobble-headed, telepathic alien in our current nightmare world, for just one example.
I'd want to skip past the Eugenics Wars and the Third World War though and go straight to the utopian, post-scarcity society of the 23rd century, where I'm sure the, by then, retro charm of my novels would finally be appreciated.
