Goodreads asked Matthew Poehler:

How do you get inspired to write?

Matthew Poehler The world is a wonderful place! The utterly fantastic is everywhere. This idea is based on where we have come from as a species, and where we're going.

I also get impatient with "plucky humanity beats Galactic Race with Duct Tape" and "fighting is the only way to win" stories and movies, and set up a situation where cooperation is the only way forward.

Kind of a theme for us to follow, even without the aliens :-)
