The album is presented as a letter; Gavin has said that it is to be seen as a letter to the 7 billionth person in the world (inspired by Salman Rushdie’s essay “Imagine There's No Heaven: A Letter to the 6 Billionth Citizen). The album tackles modern science, evolution, politics, death, and acceptance. It has been said that Mark discovered the Rushdie essay in author Christopher Hitchens' The Pocket Atheist.
