Goodreads asked Michael Scott Phillips:

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

Michael Scott Phillips The idea for Beyond the Empyrean originally started because I wanted to create a new character to help out the characters in When Morpheus Overslept when I wrote the sequel to that book, but it ultimately became it's own thing. The plot came from watching an episode of Andromeda with genetically modified characters and reading Call Me By Your Name and Ready Player One in the same month, and having them all collide and form a new molecule like nuclear fusion.
