Gebied 19

On the morning after his wedding Tomas finds the bed beside him empty. Overnight half of humanity, his family among them, has left for a different planet, and only he seems surprised. Has the world moved on without him? With his dog Toto, who also stayed, he starts to investigate. One theory he meets concerns a region of the brain that makes familiar sights look fresh and lets people persuade themselves of anything. A bright future beckons on the second earth, yet Tomas clings to the first.
