About the book: 2020 / Marriage as a social phenomenon is a thing of the past. In those dark times, they say, people still used smartphones. Now, fortunately, it's all over. Adults live for their own pleasure, because the state has taken care of everything. Key points have been included in the constitution - from the right to an environmentally friendly environment to the right to silence. Children are raised in specialized boarding schools. The virtual world seems to have finally supplanted reality. At this most blessed time, a pupil, Charlene Vilow, is growing up in one of the children's institutions. At first glance, an ordinary girl. But her behavior worries her elders. She stubbornly refuses to spend all her free time wearing cluster glasses, walks around the boarding school alone, composes clever programs for her toy and loves to make loud noises. But the constitution does not stipulate the right to scream! Just think, she even made friends with the boy! The concerns of the teachers intensify when a notification comes from the guardianship authorities that Mrs. Emily Vilow wants to resume contact with her daughter. Firstly, where has it been seen that adults voluntarily want to deal with children. Secondly, Mrs. – how can this be? Was there really a desperate idiot who agreed to tie the knot? Or is Emily hiding a secret and is actually much older than she looks? Just one small detail can wreak havoc on the well-functioning system of the future society.
