About the book: 2021 / Welcome to the System - a new home for humanity that destroyed the Earth. Here, people's lives have become shorter, death takes on new forms, and the concept of God has been abandoned in favor of a new religion: AfterLife, a social network that promises subscribers resurrection - if other users vote for them. In this future, two boys meet on the barren planet Gehenna - a genius mathematician and the son of a crime boss. Little do they know that their friendship will change humanity forever. On windswept Cold, a writer investigating a series of murders encounters a conspiracy of incredible proportions. A simple repairman who survives an attack by a maniac becomes obsessed with death, which means he is an ideal candidate for dangerous work on a drilling platform extracting a valuable resource from the depths of the planet. All these stories, like the fates of thousands of people, are intertwined, and they all depend on what happens in this complex, lost in an eternally stormy sea, full of sarcophagi with the dead waiting for their second chance.
