An elite boarding school in Vienna, housed in the Habsburgs' former summer residence and ruled by an old-fashioned, despotic class teacher. What is there to learn for life? Till Kokorda has little use for the canon or his snobbish surroundings. His passion is gaming, specifically the real-time strategy game Age of Empires 2, and after his father's death the hobby becomes a necessity. Without anyone around him knowing, Till is an online celebrity at fifteen, the youngest top-ten player in the world. But how real is that kind of happiness? A school story that becomes a portrait of society, up to the final year, 2020.
