The book's structure is so layered and complex — I wonder if it was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did the different stories influence each other as he wrote?

The way the characters grapple with reality and self-awareness was intense. It made me wonder how much of our sense of self is constructed or fragile.

The mood felt so immersive and unsettling, like stepping into a waking dream. I'm curious whether Banks drew from personal experiences or other literary influences.
