A story of confrontation between two worlds. In one, people perfect science and medicine, but the realm of universal well-being is possible only with strict control over birth rates. In the other, weapons improve, defenses against the external environment strengthen, new territories are explored… which soon won’t be кому to inhabit. A struggle of different values and worldviews—resulting in only one world remaining, the one that will become the foundation for a new stage of civilization. Khnannika has known since childhood by what laws an ideal community should be built—she has already become an important element of the common mechanism. And only at eighteen she encounters what mercilessly shatters her stereotypes. Now the world she was used to no longer seems so ideal.
