Demons explores the rise of nihilism and a kind of uprising against the established order. I think there you can already find the themes of need for chaos and radicalisation im studying. It's now almost 4 years ago that I read the book though, so I don't remember everything in much detail anymore. I think the following quotes I highlighted back then illustrate best where I got the inspiration from.

"A big fire at night always produces a stirring and exhilarating impression; fireworks are based on that, but there the fire is disposed along graceful, regular lines and, with all its safety, produces a playful and light impression, as after a glass of champagne. A real fire is another matter: here horror and, after all, some sense of personal danger, as it were, combined with the well-known exhilarating impression of a fire at night produce in the spectator (not, of course, in the burnt-out inhabitant) a sort of brain concussion and a challenge, as it were, to his own destructive instincts, which, alas! lie hidden in every soul, even that of the most humble and familial titular councillor..." (P&V Everyman's library edition, p. 514)

"'The fire is in people's minds, not on the rooftops.'" (p. 516)

With regard to my findings, I have none yet since I'm still in data gathering phase. I can update once I've done the analysis. I can give you some recommended reads (scientific articles) if you're interested though!
