Goodreads asked K.A. Madison:

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

K.A. Madison Much of the inspiration I got for this book came after I read The Singularity Is Near, by Ray Kurzweil. I was fascinated by Mr. Kurzweil’s scientific explanations of why he thinks humanity will eventually reach an inflection point that allows machine intelligence to surpass ours and become self-aware. I read that book quickly and found myself thinking, What if? What would happen if machines became self-aware and began to realize how much smarter and more powerful they were than their human creators? I decided it would be a great story to write.
