There's so much to think about here. I'll have to return to it again to understand more.

The construction of indifference, i wish humans could be seen from this inner perspective but they never will. Camus never read Marx and that is visible, german ideology would make this book way more fascinating.
Ps: im glad I haven't bumped into this book when i was 14
