The books are real, and I highly recommend that you (legally!) obtain copies and explore them for yourself. The characters are also real people, and quite fascinating ones. However, the conversations they have, the views that they hold, and the backstory that I have created, are entirely fictional and are work of my own, even if they are based on reality to some extent.
