Goodreads asked Tom Reissmann:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tom Reissmann I do research on a particular topic, in my case, that was the dangers of self-improving artificial intelligence. While reading "Our Final Invention" by James Barrat, I kept coming up with ideas for a superintelligence, secretely running the world.

However, my initial inspiration was the desire to write more optimistic science fiction and wondering how we could possibly solve many of the problems we're currently faced with.
