Le talon de fer

The framing as a future history adds a layer of realism to the dystopia. I'm curious what inspired this approach and how it shaped the storytelling.

The novel's depiction of societal collapse feels so relevant today, but it also made me uneasy about where our world might be headed.

The narrative feels so personal and visceral — I wonder if this was a deliberate attempt to make the reader empathize more deeply.
