白色山脈 (三腳征服者, 1)

The landscape and society feel so vividly imagined—I'm curious whether the author based it on real places or created it entirely from imagination.

His decisions seemed brave but sometimes morally ambiguous, which made me wonder what I would have done in his situation.

The story's exploration of free will and society's control feels really relevant, but I’d love to hear others' thoughts on its modern implications.
