Goodreads asked J.-F. Dubeau:

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

J.-F. Dubeau Most of the science fiction I imagine comes from a single idea, usually an extrapolation or exaggeration of what I envision the future to be, to which I attach a story. In the case of The Life Engineered I tried to envision a different way humanity would come up with artificial life than what we've seen in fiction so far. Initially it was supposed to be a web comic, but I quickly realized the scope of the story was too broad and it would have taken me too long to draw.
