Goodreads asked Leon Huet:

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

Leon Huet To be honest I wrote a rough outline of A Life Worth the Fleeting Suns a long time ago, when I was still a child perhaps, so I don't actually remember. I knew about Aubrey de Grey's work fairly young, and loved the Dune novels by Frank Herbert. So somehow, from these interests, a story with a dash of adventure and political intrigue arose about a young man who doesn't want to die, life giving nanobots, the tension between man and machine, and the future of humanity.
