The background described in this book reaches back to Maurice's early life and in many respects depicts real experiences around which the futuristic story of tranquility and chaos are woven.
At university, the study of Business Economics, Information Systems and Marketing Management prepared him for a career as project manager. He developed extensive experience in proposing corporate computer systems and the installation and support of them.
In this fast-changing environment it was always necessary to stay abreast of the latest trends and apply these in a pragmatic way that ensured a return on investments for the stakeholders.
For Maurice, with the demands of a career in the corporate world addressed, a standout subject at university was astronomy. There to test the practical application of computer science, quantitative methods and statistics, it led to an interest in astronomy.
Inherent in the drive to understand what technology held for the future, a parallel was found in the incredible advances in astronomy and our understanding of the universe. This enticed Maurice into this, his first excursion into fiction, and plausible science fiction in particular.
