Goodreads asked Brian Sigmon:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Brian Sigmon I had the seeds of the idea for this book something like 20 years ago. Actually it was more like 22 or 23 years. I loved Dragonball Z and Star Wars, and played around with story ideas that would essentially combine elements of both those worlds in a story set in our solar system, about 1,000 years in the future. I had some big-picture ideas for the world and a handful of characters, plus some key scenes. I'd never considered fiction writing, and actually first envisioned my story as an anime series which of course was never going to happen (I'm definitely no artist!). Then in 2020, I decided to sit down and give a fiction book based on the story a try.

The final result of Archimedes is much different than what I originally envisioned, but I love the story and the heart and soul of it are very much in keeping with the story and world I thought about as a teenager. I can't wait to see where the series goes next as I write the sequel!
