Schließlich geht es nur um die Zukunft der Menschheit. Seit vielen Jahren beschäftigt sich Sebastian 23 intensiv mit den Themen "Umweltschutz", "Verkehrswende" und "Klimakrise". Nicht nur als Vater zweier Kinder macht er sich Gedanken, wie es um die Zukunft bestellt ist.

Ben presto, però, sorge tra loro una nuova classe di burocrati, i maiali, che con astuzia, cupidigia e prepotenza s'impongono sugli altri animali. E il cerchio si chiude.

It’s the year 2073 and Rowan Greenbaum is condemned to die of an easily cured form of cancer. The reason?
