A few hundred miles in the middle of Texas was all that was left of the large country my parents knew as children. HARC managed to save only Texas from the virus and the Reboot attacks that followed.
It amused me to make Texas the only state that survived the apocalypse, because people in Texas have such pride in their state. I also just really like setting books in Texas, even if I don’t live there anymore (I grew up in Austin, and lived there again for a while as an adult before settling down in Los Angeles). It’s such an interesting state, almost with its own personality.
