2241 The life of humanity is built around the phenomenon of Transference: after receiving a “number”, a mysterious biochemical code, the human body dies, and consciousness is transferred to an animal-like body on the planet Gartorix. It is unknown to whom and when the number will arrive; it is impossible to refuse it, you can only transfer it to another. On Gartorix, human consciousnesses can change bodies and live forever - and there is a real hunt for tickets to immortality: in a TV show where you can win a “number”, the entire planet chooses the winners live, the powerful The Department of Consciousness Protection has replaced all the intelligence services of the world, criminal cartels make a living by selling numbers on the black market... But is life really that good on Gartorix?
