Dystopian story about a post-nuclear(?) future in which a regime exists which attract people because of the stability it gives in difficult times. The people however don’t have any privacy.

I heart about the book in a German radio show in Aug/Sep 2022. I guess that it is either from a Gernan author or has been translated to German recently.
In the book discussion the people make referenced to George Orwell and also pointed out the obvious similarities to Chinese society.
I am not 100% sure, but I think it took place after a nuclear war. In any case it was a situation that was challeniging for peoole to live outside of a society that gives stability. It was pointed out tgat people were willing to gice up some rights in order to have a stable/safe life.
In German the title was a single word. I vaguely remember that it had something to do with acceptance, giving up something.
Hope that somebody gets an idea!
Thanks in adnvace!

A quick search did not find something like this:
I searched in German (being born here in Germany it is my first language).
There are a lot of books, but nothing currently with a nuclear war, some deal with pandemic virus or bacteria outbreaks and the society developing after that.
Additional details may help, even the date or name of the radio show (which may still be available as a podcast).

Is it a new (current or future) book? Often in these shows they get ARC's to talk and promote the book.

I’m not sure about the show, but it was probably DLF. Definetly something you can receive in Bavaria. Roughly 7.9.22-7.10.22
It was definetly a new book or newly translated.
I amnot 100% sure about the nuclear part, but definetly global post-catastrophy!
I also checked podcasts but didn’t find anything.
:(

Still searching, but did not find a podcast without listening to all of them, only going by description. Will search elsewhere, but the theme is just to common, may take some time and I do not offer much hope, sorry.

Martin, can you tell us anything about the main character(s)? Is this book written for adults and/or teens?

Examples of how people have no privacy?

Long shot - BULB by Bradley Wind?
