What was behind the birth of ‘No.6’?
After the terrorist attacks in America on September 11, 2001, I did a lot of thinking about the relationship between the state and the individual. America is a big country where countless people live. And yet, in that large country, a small number of terrorists appeared and brought about such a huge disaster (lit: incident). Whilst I was thinking about the meaning of that revelation, the following question came to mind: what can individuals achieve against something so large as a state? I wanted to try asking myself that question by writing a novel (series).

It’s kinda mind blowing knowing no.6 started with the 9/11 attacks and ended with the earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Its like it came full circle, and the story itself just, omg.
