Die Chronolithen

The concept of the Chronoliths introduces a fascinating blend of science fiction and mystery. I wonder if the author was influenced by real-world fears about technological or societal change.

The story takes some time to build tension before the climax, but it made me curious whether that was a deliberate choice to deepen the world-building.

The characters grapple with their ability to influence events versus inevitable fate. I'm curious how much of that was planned versus developed during writing.
