Alan Moore in New Scientist

Moore portrait by Mitch Jenkins.
New Scientist issue 3207 (cover date 8 December 2018) includes a two-page article by Rowan Hooper under the headline “Magic and science fuel Middle England cult hero”.
Below some selected excerpts. 

Alan Moore: [...] Magic, in a certain sense, is the palaeontology of science. It’s where science comes from. [...]

Science is the most beautiful and elegant tool that humanity has yet developed with which to actually investigate the physical universe, to measure it, to test it. Science evolved out of magic. [...]

[Talking about Eternalism] If you think that every second is eternal, don’t do anything that you can’t live with forever. [...]

Hi, thanks for all your work, perfect compass amongst the online chaos, I remember reading an interview with Alan where he talks in depth about his favourite science-fiction reads, does that ring a bell? I've been trying to find it to no avail. Best
