Goodreads asked Gary R. Beebe Jr.:

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

Gary R. Beebe Jr. I had some iteration of the idea for Caution Earth in my head for a number of years. A couple of the chapters and scenes in the book are from short stories that I wrote almost ten years ago. They required some modification to fully fit the story arc, but for the most part, they are the same.

I have always been interested in understanding the human condition and love satire. So I thought to myself, what would more advanced species in outer space think of how we live, and what is the best vector to tell that story? From there, it came together naturally, more so than I expected.
