: I was reading Ander's wonderful Visions site, and I was wondering if he
: was in any way influenced by the british author Peter Hamilton, writer of
: the Nights Dawn trilogy. Some of the technology Ander included resembles
: the nanonic implants and geningeneering of Hamilton's universe.
I had read the first one or two books when I began BIGV, and I think they influenced
it quite a bit. On the other hand, many of the ideas can be found earlier in
other sf (or science).
