Eric asked Marko Kloos:

Just curious, why did you pick the Alcubierre drive as the means of interstellar travel, and not a different theory?

Marko Kloos I didn't want to soft-SF it by handwaving some generic FTL drive, and the Alcubierre theory is one that isn't used too often in SF. (Shorter answer: it sounded good at the time. ;) )
