However, the content does not tie the book in any manner to the Hebrew language or culture, and I believe an English translation is due soon. The short qoutations included in this review were translated by yours truly. 2020 is a science fiction book, though you'll find no indication of that on the cover. A lethal disease has swept the world as a plague, and drastic measures are taken to prevent the extinction of the human race.
Any intimate relation is dangerous, so a tyrannical, world-wide detection system was set up.
The hero of the story, Dr. Andi Roberts, finds a cure to the disease. When trying to look at the book objectively, I stand in a strange position. The plot, as such, is somehow shallow, and the ending is, well, pathetic. The characters are well described and believable, but somewhat prototypical. It is the setting , however, that makes this book so special.
