Livius is directly overwhelmed by his companion Lea von Armin. But he lets himself into a thought experiment - so not only does the road trip take a completely different course, but his whole life!

Your neighbor corresponds to all clichés with a shaved head and right slogans. Fled from the big city before the lockdown, Dora actually has to wonder what she is actually looking for here. Events happen in her immediate vicinity that she could not have expected. People who don't fit into any grid and who strongly challenge their ideas and their previous lives. This is how Dora learns something that she would never have thought she was looking for.Author Juli Zeh talks about ours
Biases, weaknesses and fears
