Goodreads asked Alexander Lydiate:

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

Alexander Lydiate I was working, as part of a very large team, on the artificial intelligence for a robotic vacuum cleaner. This is painstaking work, and the software had been in development for many, many years. In a moment of abject frustration with the inefficiencies of it all, I realised that once the AI is good enough to write the AI things will be...different.

That lead me Joe Newman and the Voice, and the story of Singularity.
