The Living

After the Great Reduction, a new era began. The Living was born: humanity transformed into a single, self-reproducing organism. "The number of the Living is unchanging," — it is said in the Book of Life. The Living equals three billion... — neither more nor less. The Living is happy. The Living is all-good. The Living is immortal... You are also immortal. The Living has created a new world for you. In this world, it does not matter who your biological ancestor is — what matters is who you were in your past life, before the Pause. In this world, there are no countries, cities, and borders, religions and nations, wars and terror. This is a wonderful, stable world where you always have a connection to the Socio. The global network is in your brain — it makes you part of the whole... But one day, an extra appears in this world. An infant without a past, increasing the number by one. Who is he? Your new friend in the Socio — or an enemy who will destroy the Living?
