Goodreads asked Sarena Straus:

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

Sarena Straus My idea for "ReInception" came from reading an article about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or "TMS" at the same time that I was reading a book about habits. TMS has important therapeutic potential, but reading about the two together made me wonder about other applications for brain stimulation and how it's human nature, when we have a technology at our disposal, to go too far. I set my technology for habit modification, called ReIncpetion, in a world that has taken the desire for perfection to the nth degree. Like many of us today, my main character is struggling to be true to herself and to be herself in a world where everyone around her is modified.
