Lost in Space. That must be the best situation to do introspection and really discover how tiny the existence is, or the greatness of that very existence that has led you there, to a vast cosmos like nothing dotted with stars.

The world is a memory in the shape of a blue ball, a ball that seems as lost as you, spinning at the mercy of a merciless black cosmos. A dark cosmos where memories and experiences also float. And where presences are also manifested that, since you are there, they throw questions at you, they openly present their doubts about life, understood from the blue ball from which they know you come.

The idea of ​​an astronaut floating in space must have been forged in Jaroslav's mind as the paradigm of the human being who seeks answers. But in the end the human almost never looks up to the stars looking for great answers. The same thing happens to our astronaut from Bohemia, the one from the Czech region and the one with the spirit occupied by the other Bohemia, the one who pushes him to existential wandering in the middle of a space operation.

When he comes back, if he ever comes back, or if he's ever gone, the astronaut will write this book. And we readers will understand what it is like to find you alone in space, having left the world behind.

From the meaning of communism to the most everyday customs or your sad personal circumstances. The presence wants to know more about you, bohemian astronaut. And you can tell him something or not. Does not matter. Because the presence probably already knows you beforehand. Who could have met you in lonely outer space? What does it matter to him all that you tell him? All your fears and joys, your hopes and sorrows. The presence that accompanies you while you look at the world in the shape of a blue ball may know everything, and just look for a little company in the silence.
