World - this is the name of the descendants of earthlings, the planet that has become their new homeland and its only one, stretching from pole to pole, the mainland, to which the Island stuck to the side with a tiny cockroach. People live, work, fight. Love and hate. The era of steam engines will soon be replaced by a century of electricity and gasoline engines. In the history of the World, an ominous parallel with the once collapsed earthly civilization will begin to be traced. Is it possible to turn off the path destined by History? Will we solve the eternal question: about the edge separating the active "good with fists" from evil? And then... what the consequences of a long-standing eugenic experiment led to: the fate of a superman among ordinary people.
