When I was young, my passion was for technology. That became my job, and I ended up running a technology company during the first dot-com boom. I also helped start a charity, got an interesting and—I think—important change made to the Fraud Act 2006, and so on.

With the people around Adam, it's more difficult to say. I expect they get personality traits from people I've known, but I couldn't tell you who, or how I put them together. They just felt right and fitted with the plot. I wasn't at school with anyone who could be seen as Harriet or Owen, in case anyone is wondering!

I hope this answers your question and I'm glad you enjoyed the book.(less)
