Sven Hillenkamp explores the possibilities of love, sex, partner selection, education, professional and emotional self-development, body manipulation, success, and fame. He describes a world where people are in a constant state of longing, believing that they could always achieve something better. This is not a non-fiction book, as it does not remain objective. It is a book that exaggerates excessively—about a reality that is itself excessively exaggerated. It is the expressionistic painting of a world that has gone awry, one that knows no boundaries, where infinite freedom tips into constraint and unlimited possibilities lead to the great impossibility of love. In the end, the surprising conclusion is a return to rational marriage.
