Humans conceitedly consider themselves as the pinnacle of evolution, as the crown of creation. Are they right? Is it possible that the further success of the human society needs a simplification and even a spiritual degradation of individuals?

The author makes her protagonists discuss this idea using the form of the classical dialogue. The interlocutors emphasize two critical points: the specialization, which becomes more and more narrow, and the imagination ability, which gradually declines.

The text includes quotations from other fiction books and public lectures of the author.

The opinion of the author coincides with the opinion of the protagonists.
