Hipnozla, acı hissini manipüle etmeyi başardığı araştırmasıyla Nobel Ödülü kazanan Adli Psikiyatrist Esin Taşkıran, araştırmasını daha ileri taşıyarak ayna nöronlardaki aktiviteyi telkinle arttırma suretiyle suça meyilli insanlarda empatiyi arttırarak insanları içlerindeki kötülükten arındırarak suç oranlarını düşürmeyi hedefler. Fakat ödül kazandığı gece kazandığı tek şey bir ödül değil, kötülüğün yok olamayacağını savunan Maenon isimli bir ısrarlı takipçidir. Adli Psikiyatrist Esin Taşkıran'ın mâhkûmlar üzerinde yürüttüğü araştırmada intiharlar baş gösterdiğinde medya bu intiharlardan Adli Psikiyatristi sorumlu tutar. Tüm kariyeri ve idealleri tehlikeye giren Esin, intiharların sebebini ve Maenon'la nasıl ilişkisi olduğunu bulmaya çalışırken kliniğe 'deli' raporu almak isteyen aklı oldukça başında bir adam gelir. Felsefi bir bilimkurgu olan bu kitapta, iyi-kötü, doğru-yanlış, etik-ahlak ikilimler eline alınarak insanlığın sınırları ve insan olmanın ne demek olduğu sorgulanırken, insanın yarattığı kimliklerin gerçek benliği üzerindeki etkilerine ve nihayetinde yalnızca bir insan olmanın yarattığı acizlik ve ilahilik üzerine alegoriler yapılır.

Pukka yayınları aracılığıyla kitap oldu! Şimdi düşününce o güne geri dönsem yine o arabaya biner miyim diye sorguluyordum. Bana attığı ilk mesaja cevap verir miydim? Bu yaşadıklarımızı yaşayacağımızı bilsem hayatımdaki ilk keşkeye dönüşen adama büyük bir aşkla tekrar bağlanır mıydım? Tüm bunların yaşanacağını bilsem bile yine o arabaya binerdim. Yekta benden gitmiş olsa bile onun arkasında bıraktığı şey benim için paha biçilemez değerdeydi. Şimdi buradayım, Yekta'nın karşısında. Kucağımda bir yaşına basmak üzere olan kızımla beraber. Kızım. Kızım diyordum çünkü Asya hiçbir zaman Yekta ile bizim kızımız olmamıştı. O sadece benim kızımdı. Yekta'nın Asya'nın üzerinde gezinen bakışları, gözlerinde ve yüzünde edinen o şaşkınlığı beni öfkelendiriyordu. Oysa ben Asya'nın yüzünü ona göstermeyecektim. Yekta hayatı boyunca Asya'nın yamacına bile yaklaşamayacaktı. Bunu hak etmiyordu. Yekta şu an kızımı görmeyi hak etmiyordu. Kader bir şekilde yollarımızı kesiştirmese dünyanın bir ucunda birbirimizden habersiz bir şekilde yaşamaya devam edecek, belki de birbirimizin adını ağzımıza almayacaktık. Çünkü ben iki yıldır onun adını ağzıma almamıştım. '310324 🔗
