Norepinephrine

In the metropolis of the future, science has reached incredible heights: it is capable of automatically and imperceptibly curing complex diseases, extending life, and regulating human emotional states at the hormonal level. The health and stability of society are maintained through the complete predictability of behavior.

The protagonist works for an agency that stands above the police. His area of responsibility is unavoidable misfortune: violent crimes and licenses to kill.

He is a man of rational choice. And this rationality is not just a character trait, but a metaphor for a system where any decision can be described as a problem with known parameters. But can morality be squeezed into logical schemes? And what remains of a person capable of justifying absolutely any choice with logic? The old "trolley problem" takes on a new, terrifying shade here.

"Noradrenaline" is the first of five books in a series about one of the possible futures of humanity, the inevitability of consequences, and the burden of responsibility.
