All Men of Genius

The way societal expectations and class distinctions shaped the characters' lives was so vivid. Did others find the setting as much a part of the story as the characters themselves?

The mix of historical and speculative genres felt fresh and immersive. I'm curious whether this fusion was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

It added so much depth and nuance to the character. Did the author draw from personal experiences or research to craft this representation?
