TC: Okay, so it's not something you wanted in the story and built the story around? And if you can do that, why can't you have spaceships as well, so I just build from one level to another. PFH: Yes, Sonnies Edge and some of the other stories features affinity technology, so that was born out of that and then it just went on from there, it's extrapolating what you can do the with technology and where you could put a living habitat in space and where it would get enough energy, which is the magnetic field of planets.
