The Rig

The bleak, oppressive world feels so real — I'm curious whether the author envisioned this world from the start or developed it as the story progressed.

The characters often make questionable decisions that challenge notions of right and wrong. How did the author balance their motives with the darker themes?

The chilling scenes added a lot of tension, but I wonder if they were planned from the beginning or added later to heighten suspense.
