Summary

Damir Hoyka: Xavia

To what extent can what is valid for art - activity and "production" without material utility and usability - be applied to the entire human existence?

How can the noble intention of completely ending material exploitation and injustice lead to the desire for the complete physical ending of humanity? Can an android gain feelings by consuming art? Is the human truth that love knows no boundaries so comprehensive that it extends to completely virtual creatures and robots? Damir Hoyka asks many such and similar questions in his novel "Xavia" and invites the reader to think. 

In the foreseeable future - the year 2039 - a group of scientists manages to construct a converter that transfers a human being into a virtual world, but their idea is used by a righteous man who wants to virtualize all of humanity in order to establish final justice. Wade Zeeland, a photographer, and his friend Mark, with Xavia's wholehearted help, manage to prevent his plan, and in a series of love relationships and battles between humans, between humans and robots, humans and virtual clones, and finally the "virtuals" themselves, Hoyka tells an interesting sequence that has several parallel flows, and the development of love between Zeeland and the android Sabrina has few parallels in literature. possibly, we remain confused before the basic one - what will happen to emotions and ethics. Hoyka's "Xavia" is more than a warning.
