"The time was alive; it followed a path, just like us human beings. It was inside them and lived with them, sharing the same aspirations and dreams. It, too, had become accustomed to seeing itself, like in a mirror, in a linear form."The novel explores the labyrinths of human existence in a dystopian world dominated by artificiality and insensitivity, addressing a wide range of themes ranging from the enigmatic bond between Rosen and Podolsky to the population's indifference towards life, the dualities of time, and the concepts of biocentrism and determinism. At the heart of the narrative, protagonists Rosen and Podolsky find themselves mysteriously connected in a different plane of reality, where their minds intertwine and reveal fragments of a forgotten past. This intrinsic connection becomes the thread through which they explore the nature of identity, memory, and destiny. As they strive to understand the depth of their bond, they must confront the pervasive insensitivity surrounding the population of the Capital, a world that has lost its connection to authentic emotions and the value of life itself. The link between Rosen and Podolsky is the focal point of the story, a profound investigation into the nature of human beings and the search for meaning in a world devoid of genuine emotions. The novel invites readers to reflect on the human condition, the power of individual choices, and the struggle for freedom.
