Zensus

The bleak environment feels so immersive—I'm curious whether the setting was based on real-world concerns or purely imagined. Did the author draw from specific societal issues when crafting this world?

The portrayal of surveillance and loss of individuality was intense, but also made me wonder how close this dystopia feels to our current society. How did others interpret the characters' struggles with identity?

The sparse, almost clinical prose creates a haunting atmosphere—I'm wondering if the storytelling choice was deliberate to mirror the characters' detachment or if it evolved during writing.
