Paradiso Influences

I have lost count of how many other pieces of art have inspired me to create my own little world. Naturally there’s a lot of sci-fi on here – unsurprising since this is a sci-fi novel – but there’s plenty of movies and books on here that I recommend if you want to see where my brain goes sometimes.

This list is likely to get longer, especially since I’m reading more and watching more movies than I have in a long time, so feel free to come back here for more inspiration!
