"Delayed Maturity" is a fantastic dystopia about an alternative Soviet Union in the 21st century. In this world, the fate of citizens is determined by a ruthless rating, and the state is governed by Artificial Intelligence "AIlyich". Maturity is officially prolonged here: young men and women live for years in closed "residences", while the age of adulthood steadily increases. The main character, Kira Samokhvalova, has been brought up since childhood to compete for the top. But when the system trips her up, the girl begins a dangerous game. Behind the facade of socialist progress and slogans about a bright present lie total surveillance, scarcity, and segregation. Kira finds herself at a crossroads: resignation or rebellion, but she doesn't even suspect what awaits her ahead… This is a story about a world where becoming an adult is a privilege. And it is not given to everyone.
