Goodreads asked Aiden Bailey:

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

Aiden Bailey Right now we live in a world where mass surveillance is become more and more prevalent, and connected technologies are becoming more and more ingrained into our everyday lives, making surveillance far easier than it has ever been before in our ever-connected world.

I started thinking about the NSA’s National Data Centre in Utah, and how much data is it actually compiling, roughly the equivalent of 300 billion iPhones.

But what happens if an enemy organisation could hack that wealth of information, and use it to their own advantage? Not just to steal and sell it, but to do so much more.

From there the ideas just came. So many ideas on what you could do if you illegally controls a vast portion of the world’s data.

So my novel is about mass surveillance, cyberterrorism, global insurgency, and how it could all go wrong.
