The torture of James Bond by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and some dialogue in the scene, were inspired by a corresponding sequence included in the first James Bond continuation novel "Colonel Sun" (1968) by Kingsley Amis (originally writing as Robert Markham), but now republished by Vintage under Amis' actual name coinciding with the theatrical release of this movie. The torture scene of this movie is partially derived from the book's Chapter 19, which is titled "The Theory and Practice of Torture". The relevant specific dialogue in this movie, is when Blofeld says to Bond and Dr. Madeleine Swann: "A man lives inside his head; that's where the seed of his soul is. James and I were both present recently when a man was deprived of his eyes, and the most astonishing thing happened, didn't you notice? He wasn't there anymore. He had gone even though he was still alive, so this brief moment between life and death, there was nobody inside his skull. Most odd." The corresponding paragraph in Chapter 19 of the "Colonel Sun" novel reads: "Sun came over and knelt beside Bond's chair. He spoke in a half-whisper. His throat was trembling. 'A man lives inside his head. That's where the seat of his soul is, and this is true objectively as well as subjectively. I was present once, I wasn't directly concerned, when an American prisoner in Korea was deprived of his eyes, and the most astonishing thing happened. He wasn't there anymore. He'd gone, though he was still alive. There was nobody inside his skull. Most odd, I promise you. So James, I am going to penetrate to where you are, to the inside of your head." Ironically, the passage of text from the book refers to Korea. The hacking of the this movie's screenplay in 2014 is alleged to have occurred from North Korea as a response to the depiction of their leader Kim Jong-un in The Interview (2014).
