The Mountain in the Sea

The novel explores complex animal intelligence and human interaction—I'm curious what sparked the author's fascination with this concept and how it shaped the story.

The book made me think about how far we're willing to go with technology and animal rights. Did others find themselves questioning their own ethical boundaries?

The ocean environment feels so immersive—I'm wondering if the vivid world-building was based on real locations or entirely imagined for the story.
