Dean Leippek is a pen name for a young talented writer from Moscow. Her catalog includes novels, poems, stories, and literary blogs. In 2017, Dean Leippek won the contest "Fantastic Breakthrough" with the book "It Was All Invented by People," published by Fluid Fri-Fly. The author is also a prize-winner of the story contest "Far-Far Space," held by 1C-Publishing on the Author.Today internet platform. The novella "Veronika Steinbridge Leaves the Safety Zone" is social science fiction written according to anti-utopia canons. The heroine lives in the Safety Zone—a world under a dome for people who cannot tolerate the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. To prevent conflicts, everyone lives only with people of the same gender, and regular intake of special drugs suppresses sexual desire. There are also pills for depression, plus support groups that always help, and each person has their own curator. But what is beyond the Safety Zone? Perhaps a living forest that the heroine persistently draws in her paintings.
