Goodreads asked Richard Sutton:

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

Richard Sutton I've carried around "what-ifs" regarding the lost knowledge from the Library at Alexandria since college. Actually before. My eight-grade history teacher first told me of his own ideas on the subject which whetted my appetite for more study. Smart guy, he eventually turned to politics. I went down a meandering path wearing lots of different hats until I landed in the writer's chair. It still took more than ten years at the keyboard to finally get around to writing it down!
