Greg asked Jessica Alter:

How do you invent your settings?

Jessica Alter Inspiration comes from all over, but most of the ideas which I run with germinate from vivid dreams.

The setting for the Dome Trilogy was inspired by a dream and refined by a century of extraordinary utopian and dystopian science fiction. I always liked the idea of arcologies as a social science fiction settings: They combine both the dream of an immaculate and ordered world and the nightmare of an oppressive and controlled world. Individual opinion is, as ever, the deciding factor.
