On Earth 127 years had passed and everything had changed.  The Earth no longer has wars, and the society is a safe and comfortable place to live, due to betrization prodcedure that turns off natural aggressive instincts at birth. But the humanity has last something more. In this Uttopian society people don't need deep emotions, a strong character, the ability to overcome oneself and win at incredible odds. Before the main character there is a choice: to accept the new norms of society, or to be seen as a savage. Or maybe to leave the Earth again on another expedition?",
    "tagline": "\"There will never be a paradise on Earth if free and reasonable people are to live in it. Freedom is achieved through aspirations, and not through their implementation, after which one would only have to rest on the laurels of victory.\" - S. Lem.",
