De dwaling

The bleak environment feels so visceral—I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by current events or entirely imagined. How did this backdrop shape the characters’ struggles and decisions?

The characters’ distrust felt so intense and real, but it also made me wonder if it was a commentary on human nature in crisis. Did this make anyone else question who to trust?

Listening to the story added a certain atmosphere, but I wonder if the mood or tension was different in the written version. What do you think the audiobook brought to the story that text alone might not?
