Description
It is the year 2058, and the world has been devastated by natural disasters. In Helsinki, where a totalitarian regime rules after a civil war, children have not been born for a long time, and life lacks meaning. The only solace comes from virtual reality. Access to Heaven is only for those who can afford it. A young scientist, Akseli, receives a research assignment from his superior at the university. Suddenly, he can spend much more time in Heaven. Just when it seems he will indulge only in its intoxicating effects, he meets a woman and yearns to meet her in the real world as well. Finnish writer Piia Leino has crafted a thrilling dystopian vision that, against the backdrop of a love story, addresses the growing influence of technology on human life, increasing social inequality, the dangers of nationalistic ideologies, and other pressing issues of the contemporary world. The novel Heaven is achieving global success, having been translated into nearly twenty languages.
