One of my rules was that I would not put any events in my book that had not already happened in what James Joyce called the 'nightmare' of history, nor any technology not already available. No imaginary gizmos, no imaginary laws, no imaginary atrocities. God is in the details, they say. So is the devil.

Not typing out the whole introduction...but that part is the most relevant. Have the book infront of me
