The story that was used by the CIA was the story written by Barry Ira Keller, who wrote a science fiction film script, The Lord of Light. The drawings that the author had commissioned to promote his script and a future sci-fi movie were used by the CIA to promote their version of the film concept to the Iranians.


"In 1978 Barry purchased the rights to Lord of Light, a sci-fi novel by Roger Zelazny about colonists from another planet who conquer Earth and become the legendary Hindu gods until they turn against each other for control of the world. Concepts of advanced technology, magic, enhanced consciousness, and spirituality resonated with Barry and formed the foundation of his ambitious projects to create and build a mega, Disney-sized science fiction theme park called Science Fiction Land® and a related movie, Lord of Light. Barry set out to recruit some of the top technical and creative minds to build and conceive his cutting edge Science Fiction Land."
