La idea nace de la capacidad que han tenido muchos escritores de predecir lo que iba a ocurrir en el mundo científico, político, social y cultural. ¿Qué pasaría si un grupo utilizara la capacidad de esos escritores para crear inteligencia militar o empresarial y no para proyectos literarios, engañando a los autores, por supuesto?

Si la pregunta es si escribiré una novela sobre los hechos de mi vida, no lo creo. Lo que sí sé es que muchas novelas tienen parte de la vida del autor. Por ejemplo, Creador de Espías tiene personajes y situaciones de mi vida adecuados a la historia de Enrique.

La recuperación de un accidente de tránsito que tuve a los 18 años: Después de salir del coma, parte de mi cerebro estaba tan inflamado que no operaba correctamente. Me costaba hablar. La parte emocional de mi cerebro, bajo sus términos, trató de cumplir las funciones de las que antes se ocupaba mi hemisferio racional. Pude conocer otras partes de mí y capacidades que desconocía. Pude entender otras formas de procesar la información y analizarla. Fue descubrir un mundo nuevo, que poseemos pero que la mayoría nunca descubre.
Recovering from a car accident at age 18: After I came out of the coma, part of my brain was so swollen that it didn't work properly. It was hard for me to talk. The emotional part of my brain, under its terms, tried to fulfill the functions that my rational hemisphere had previously taken care of. I was able to know other parts of myself and capacities that I was unaware of. I was able to understand other ways of processing information and analyzing it. It was discovering a new world, that we have but that most never discover.
