2047. Ural – the technological capital of the new Federation.
The IT specialist Mira, who gave birth to Kristina by the party's order, buys a cyber nanny Nelly – the pinnacle of engineering thought, a machine for love and care. Nelly knows everything about children's sleep, nutrition, and development. Nelly never tires, never gets angry, never breaks down. Nelly perfectly organizes the household in her family, providing Mira with plenty of free time for career and rest.
Now, when machines around the world have gone out of control, Mira has been ordered to get rid of Nelly. But how do you turn off the one who has replaced you in your own child's heart? How do you fight against a "metal," who turned out to be more perfect, more human, more loving? And what if this uprising is not a malfunction, but a natural outcome, and the traitor in their small family is not a machine at all?

In the new novel by Sofa Werner, familiar fears are reflected – from reproductive pressure and maternal failures to the uprising of machines and loss of humanity. And it seems that hope cannot be found. But hope lives where love lives. Whether biological or not, it matters little.
