Edward Bunker's background and experiences seem to influence the authenticity. I wonder what inspired the choices behind the detailed depiction of the criminal world.

The moral ambiguity kept me hooked, but at times I wondered if I was sympathizing too much with flawed, dangerous characters. How did others feel about their complexity?

The title suggests a ruthless environment, but I’m curious if it was meant to symbolize the characters’ survival instincts or something deeper.
