Swarm is an exploration of the mentally damaging toll obsession and fandom can have on a person. More than that though, it is ultimately a story about the human need for connection and acceptance. Gabe discusses the series\' creative approach to an unreliable narrator we\'re all rooting for. Kat explains the human brain\'s need for connection and community.
