Год зеро

The relentless challenges faced by characters felt very visceral. I'm curious whether real-world survival stories influenced this portrayal or if it was purely fictional world-building.

The way faith and fanaticism are woven into the plot added a layer of complexity but also made me uncomfortable at times. How do others interpret the role of religion in this survival scenario?

There were moments that made me shiver but also scenes of high-paced action. I wonder whether this balance was planned from the beginning or developed during writing.
