Goodreads asked Jim Vuksic:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jim Vuksic I often wondered what it would take to create and maintain a perfect social structure; one in which everyone, without exception, would have access to the exact same quantity and quality of food, clothing, housing, formal education and social advancement opportunities - a world in which being different would not just be accepted or tolerated, but would be considered admirable. Could such a society realistically exist? Thus, the world of "Levels" was born.
