Apogee

Outside the window is the spring of 2045, and the life of reporter Aaro is a monotonous routine. He attends online meetings and earns money by writing news stories created by a news designer. At that time, the environment is changing rapidly, the environmental movement is radicalizing, devices are improving, artificial intelligence is replacing humans in most industries. And terrorist attacks against successful businessmen have become more frequent. Aaro, on the advice of his manager, goes to the eco-community "Oak Valley", which is suspected of having ties to eco-terrorists. But soon the work investigation becomes very personal and dangerous. Many people there have something to hide. Everyone can be involved in crimes.

Thus, in the contrast of the rural idyll and modern technology, Pia Leino skillfully weaves her detective-romantic story. In her usual manner, she shows humanity on the verge of disaster, but also gives room for hope.
