This science-fiction novel devoted to central problem of modernity - collision between the humanity and the intellectually superior artificial creatures. The Part One - the tragedy without the deaths - is the story of creation of those creatures, complex circumstances on the Earth, dramatic love story of the main human heroes, and self-imposed exile of creator and creatures from the Earth. The Part Two - Renaissance - is the story of creation of new world on a remote planet, rebirth of the people there, their deep psychological problems, the love stories in unusual circumstances and humanistic metamorphosis of the "Robot". The Part Three - a fruitful communication and mutual support of two worlds, separated by space and time, but united by feeling of a deep mutual affinity, as well as similar threats from asteroids. All those human developments are shown on background of "seeding the life" on the lifeless planet separated from the Earth by distance of thirty light years - the artificial evolution, which is still slow in the human terms but extremely swift vs. natural evolution. In the same time, the life of humans, flora and fauna needs to be protected against the coming astronomic threat (asteroid). The finale is the fruitful communication between two worlds, separated by space and time. The message from the new world reaches the Earth a century after departures of Faust & Robots while finding there already the third and later generations. This exchange with complex relationship between the sending and receiving messages generations is deeply dramatic. The entire drama is in poetry, incl. three garlands of sonnets as female-male dialogs (such application of this most complex poetic form & 4 garlands in one work are for the first time). The drama makes the heroes animated and the poetic form allows laconic expression of personal, social and even serious scientific and philosophical matters without undesirable complexity and pseudo-scientific style.
