A sharp, soulful satire that imagines what’s left of humanity when politics devolve into paranoia, corporations crave control, and machines begin to dream. In a world obsessed with power, profit, and perfection, a farmer named Ilie, a mechanic in overalls named Dorel, and a self-aware, malfunctioning robot called PRAX-17 do something radical: they slow down. In the forgotten rural village of Slobozia Fericită, they reject top-down ideologies, ESG checklists, DEI dogmas, and surveillance states. Instead, they choose something humble—and quietly revolutionary: to fix what’s broken. Book one traces the absurd decline of a society that swings from communism to libertarian chaos to techno-progressivism, until ideology collapses into digital dictatorship. Book two follows AI robots as they learn to err, to laugh, and ultimately, to choose. They step outside the algorithm. They touch wood. They write poetry. In the final part, a war-driven, unnamed global power that has never heard of Slobozia tries to conquer everything—including meaning. But what it finds instead is silence. And resilience. This is not a story about heroes. It’s a story about hands. About burnt fingers, rusty wrenches, and warm tea in a dusty workshop. It is about a robot who dreams of making a chair, and a man who teaches him why it matters. The book is equal parts irony, melancholy, and philosophical rebellion. It doesn’t offer salvation from above. It offers rebuilding from below. It’s not utopia. It’s repair. If you’re tired of a world shouting to be saved, open this book. Listen. Then get to work.
