X first came up with the idea for his novel Y in 1962, when researching 'The Man in the High Castle' which deals with the Nazis conquering the planet in the 1940s. X had been granted access to archived World War II Gestapo documents in the University of California at Berkley, and had come across diaries written by S.S. men stationed in Poland, which he found almost unreadable in their casual cruelty and lack of human empathy. One sentence in particular troubled him: "We are kept awake at night by the cries of starving children." X was so horrified by this sentence that he reasoned there was obviously something wrong with the man who wrote it. This led him to hypothesize that Nazism in general was a defective group mind, a mind so emotionally flawed that the word human could not be applied to them; their lack of empathy was so pronounced that X reasoned they couldn't be referred to as human beings, even though their outward appearance seemed to indicate that they were human. The novel sprang from this. 21. Deja Vu?? X (1947) is a Technicolor comedy film, loosely based on the short story of the same name by James Thurber.

When asked if he would sue X over certain copyrights on his creation Y "I don't think so," said Keith Chapman.
