Welcome to the world of the future! A world where diseases, wars, hunger and old age have been defeated, over two hundred exoplanets have been discovered and the expansion continues. A wonderful new world, a world for everyone. Except for Jan. But it is he, a simple caretaker of the reserve, who by chance ends up on the Grand Jury, which will determine the further vector of development of the earthly civilization. Are they waiting for us in space? Is space waiting for us? Are we up to it? Is it worth "overclocking" the human brain for the sake of further exploration of the Galaxy? Will man remain human after this?

Eduard Verkin explores the topic of justifying global experiments on humanity, the phenomenon of overcoming old age and the evolution of space missions, giving the essentially science fiction text the depth and anxiety of real psychological prose. Prose that is large, poignant and echoing, making one recall the best examples of Soviet science fiction about choosing a path to the stars through the darkness of the Universe.
