It's 274 AD. That's not Anno Domini, by the way, that's After Darwin. Raul and his sister Arym live in a world that has completely rejected religion. After terrible outbreaks of fundamentalist terrorism some years before, a rationalist, authoritarian regime came to power. They dissolved all the churches, mosques and temples. They forbade religion and dubbed Charles Darwin the new saviour. But the trappings of religion haven't entirely disappeared. The familiar tropes have been replaced with consumerist ones - in this world the blesseds are celebrities, not saints and quasi-religious services in Celebreons, not churches, install them. The Bible, Talmud and Koran have been replaced with ''The Writings''.
