The author noted that the book tells a story of a man, his passions and fears, death and life. It is a tale of two families, the story of the existence of different generations of people with their real human passions, love, betrayal, joy or pain, and the attempt to rewrite, correct, or start living again. The title reflects the main topic of the book.
“My goal was to write about the modern world, where people are left alone. A world where modern science creates a new person, a new mind, a new reality. Creates a memory implant, replaces facts, memories, the past, but can love be replaced,” she said.
