Goodreads asked Toby Downton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Toby Downton I originally got inspired to write in March 2014 when Facebook bought Oculus Rift for $2bn. I knew that there would be no better time in my life to write Solarversia, and that if I was able to write it in time (to coincide with the release of VR headsets like Oculus Rift) it would get a huge boost in visibility when the mainstream media started covering the topic of VR.

Since then, I've needed no further inspiration. Knowing that I had an all-important deadline, and that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was enough for me to leave my job and to work on the project full time.
