He is still a child the first time he goes into hiding, to escape the bullying at school. From then on, disappearing runs through his life, along with building and furnishing ever new houses and flats. The nameless hero tells the fable of the last Robinson Crusoe in a world without any free space left. He looks for his Friday and finds one in a chat room, as faceless and nameless as himself. His visions take him to Grevesmühlen, to the blue South Seas, into a London dungeon and out again, always accompanied by wealth and by mysterious pursuers.
