Damit [med. und pädagogisches Wissen und Fortschritt] einhergehend sind aber auch die Ansprüche an alle, die mit Kindern umgehen, gestiegen. Überhaupt hat der - in vielerlei Hinsicht zu begrüßende - medizinische Fortschritt zu einem drastischen Umdenken in der Bedeutung geführt, sie die Kinder für ihre Familien und für die Gesellschaft haben: Kinder sind nicht mehr ein natürlicher Teil und schicksalhafter Teil des Lebens, sondern eine Frage von Entscheidung und Verantwortung, eine Frage der Selbstverwirklichung. Sie kann in begriffen von Scheitern oder Erfolg gemessen werden und auch hier lauert letztlich Schuld.

Read the German translation.
Really enjoyed reading this book. Cool characters, nice overall story arc, some plot twists/revelations that felt good and generally a very cool setting.
Didn't like some of the "crowd manipulations" which felt a bit superficial.
I really recommend to read some of the shorter stories in the universe before. They are a neat introduction into a setting and some characters that can feel a bit overwhelming.
@Flauschbuch@bookrastinating.com enjoying it as well so far :) It's nice to meet some characters that were introduced in the shorter stories. Are you reading the German translation or original?

Was fun to read. In the beginning it was mostly "things happening to the protagonist who's a detective" and less of a detective story, but still enjoyable and the people happening to the protagonist were pretty cool. Also had an interesting setting and got even better in the end.
Read the German translation.
