What inspired you to write your book?
In the New Scientist they were discussing how societies only seem to get to a particular level of technology before wiping themselves out. It was a compelling piece and stuck with me.
I wondered about what would happen if scientists studying humans would think of our technological advancement, and the direction we are currently headed.
