"What tends to happen with me is that I will get interested in a subject matter and usually the subject matter is a long way outside my ability to understand it. It might be history, where I don’t literally know what happened, at that point in time, or it might be something in science, and I don’t understand the mechanisms behind it or the implications. And over years, I read and read. And then, at a certain point, when I’ve gotten enough comfort with the subject matter, the story suddenly appears." - Alex Garland, Collider
