Goodreads asked Umut Orhan:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Umut Orhan As a writer of artificial world colonies, I'd be most interested in meeting the inhabitants of one of those ships. It’s not the metal corridors or the recycled air that attracts me, but the idea of feeling the pulse of a civilization built from scratch. It would be priceless to witness how art, traditions, and even simple daily routines can evolve without a familiar world as their foundation. I would choose a single conversation with someone born into that culture over a silent view of the stars from an observation dome. For me, the ultimate discovery would be to understand what kind of humanity we construct inside the worlds we construct.
