The unnamed narrator returns to work after a debilitating illness, caused by a pandemic. He is struggling to regain his footing. As head of a corporate storytelling division, he crafts narratives for commercial purposes while secretly pursuing his lifelong dream: writing his debut novel. But time is scarce, and his personal life is unraveling. His wife, a translator, has lost her job to AI-driven progress and is battling mental illness. Torn between professional obligations and caring for his beloved young son, he fights to keep his world intact.

Then, two new figures enter his life: Anna, a social media specialist fifteen years his junior, and Viktor, an AI evangelist whose innovations threaten to dismantle the narrator’s department. When layoffs begin, he launches a desperate fight against technology to protect his team. Meanwhile, his seemingly casual relationship with Anna deepens into an emotional storm he cannot control. And when Viktor unveils an AI application capable of writing books, the narrator realizes two devastating truths: his career is obsolete, and he is hopelessly in love.

As his world collapses, nothing remains as it was. A prophetic tale of love, loss, and the unstoppable march of technology—a story that feels alarmingly close to reality.
