synopsis
A distopian novel. It is the diary of a nameless man who lives, like everyone else in his noisy city, in a sound-insulated glass ball. His lies, life-deceptions, and false promises exist in concert with his genuine attempts to escape from the city and to find the inaccessible friend who has written him a letter.
