I have another book to recommend on that actually. So some of the inspiration for this and the way I wrote it was inspired by an author, an anonymous author, Australian, I think he lives in Western Australia called Greg Egan. And he's written many sci-fi books. And the one that inspired me talked about the emergence of consciousness, which is a common theme in this story that I wrote. And he'd written it in a way that really struck me as quite beautiful, where he tried to sort of visualize it. And I tried to do the same thing in terms of the abiogenesis of digital life.
