ilsa and her family remain the key to both storylines - whether alongside AI in a seemingly utopian world with too much development, or in the wake of geopolitics and social change in an increasingly escalating world full of threats. Is human nature only the reason for the threat, or is it also the key to greater awareness, hope, and sustainability? Part 1 described humanity and the real challenges of contemporary politics. Part 2 continues the love story between Max and Eve and asks whether evil always finds a way using the same mechanisms as good. ilsa and Michael are fighting against time. Part 2 is thus much easier to read than Part 1, exciting and full of depth and even humor. Claudia, Nick, Julia, Thomas ... all experience the exponential change of things. Oh, and only Part 3 will look far into the future, if there is one.
