Goodreads asked A.M. Pfeffer:

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

A.M. Pfeffer It came to me in a dream. Okay, that's not true. Then again, it's not that far off either. The short of a VERY long story is this...I initially wanted to write a book about being a liberal landlord (which I find is rare among many other landlords I know), and I wanted to use that book to also assault readers with my views on the world via numerous personal anecdotes. But that basic idea wasn't quite strong enough, and then a chance meeting forced me to think harder about a better idea, which led me to realize I have many other contradictions than just being a liberal landlord. This then led me to discover the prophecy of the Hanged Man. Though, an even shorter answer to your question is this...perspective. I wrote the book to put today's world in perspective. And my aim was to do that in less than 60,000 words.
