Vkhodyashchie v sbornik rasskazy posvyashcheny raznym voprosam - problemam pozhilogo vozrasta, otnosheniyam mezhdu roditelyami i det'mi, muzhchinoy i zhenshchinoy. Nekotorye iz nikh mozhno bylo by nazvat' nauchnoy fantastikoy, no oni skoree yavlyayutsya razmyshleniyami o tom, kak menyayutsya otnosheniya mezhdu lyud'mi i k chemu eto mozhet privesti. Chto kasaetsya dokumental'noy povesti, ee tsel' - ne perechislit' sobytiya, proizoshedshie v 2007 godu, a vyrazit' tochku zreniya ryadovogo, no myslyashchego i obrazovannogo cheloveka, na tendentsii politicheskikh, nauchnykh, obrazovatel'nykh, ekonomicheskikh i kul'turnykh sobytiy. Glavnoe v ney - obespokoennost' avtora nashim budushchim.
