| Re: Exodus
Lots of questions by email. One that keeps coming up is how did I get the idea for the Noos - the mind-blowing cyberuniverse of the future in Exodus; it wasn't so much part of the story in Zenith but it's key to Fox's story in Aurora.
In the meanderings and detours that I always do when writing (or when I should be writing but it's hard to get the ideas flowing when staring at a blank screen), I discovered trails of beautiful images that echoed each other. A map of internet connections, 'flu viruses, galaxies of all kinds (real and synthetic), even strangely beautiful tumours.... and so my idea of the Noos developed from images like these. |
