The Living jellemzők

After the Great Reduction, the number of people living on Earth has become fixed, remaining a constant three billion. Death no longer exist; instead people are reborn with an incode that records their previous incarnations. Humankind is no longer made up of individuals - people are only particles making up one composite organism: The Living. Everyone is joined mentally to the overarching social network (Socio), society is global, attachments to parents and children are denounced as a deviation, death is outwed as a concept.
But now, one man has been born without an incode - an extra human being. His birth increases the number of The Living by one, threatening global harmony. Who is the man known as Zero and how will The Living react.
