In the alternative reality of Alexandra Shalashova's new novel, the Soviet Union has not disintegrated, but its signs are not too visible to the heroes - they are experiencing a deep inner crisis and are immersed in memories of the catastrophe that happened to them in the past. However, the boundary between "remember" and "forget" in this world is shaky and conditional: here everyone can be exposed to the Reader, a neurocorrection device, and be forgotten by everyone.
At the center is the story of a complex and painful relationship between a teacher and a student. The teacher promises Lesha a new life outside the orphanage - and creates a community of children united by the ideas of freedom and universal equality outside the state. Lyosha becomes deeply and sincerely attached to the teacher, until one day he commits a betrayal. It seems that only the Reader can help him forget the betrayal. But what if the machine malfunctions - and forever to part with the past will be impossible? The hero is faced with a difficult choice - to remain an ordinary man or to continue the path of his teacher? The reader, seeing through his precisely open book, allows him to make this choice.
