The idea for the code came out of necessity. Readers were having trouble understanding what was happening with the alternate reality bits. Someone liked the command line interface at the end, which inspired the idea of having reality written, or in this case rewritten, by the engine. Every cause can be seen as an instruction, so let it be a computer instruction. This allowed the compartmentalising of reality within the narrative and made the distinction between the dual realities easier to spot. It also allowed the fundamental dichotomy of fate vs freewill to be examined.
* '''BB: ''Beyond Belief'' hints at a very complex world beneath the surface and our hero Joshua finishes the story as a very different person from when we first met at the beginning. Will there be a prequel about the origins of 'the Engine' and its curators and can we also look forward to more Joshua? '''
ML: Maybe. The book takes a look at popular religion and icons within it, and twists the plot around them. I could look at other religions. I was thinking about this earlier, and wondered what a book called Before Belief would be about. We all know that knowledge comes after belief, but what comes before? What, at the core, is belief and how does it relate to what is in our head and how we see the world?
