Amy Turing asked Amy Turing:

Is any of it based on real-world events?

Amy Turing Yes — but indirectly. Everything in the book is fiction, yet inspired by real-world technologies: sentiment analysis tools, predictive policing, social credit experiments, the gamification of civic behavior. I kept asking myself: if these tools exist, what happens when they converge? The events are made up. The mechanisms are real.
