This collection of reports and conversations is about the inhabitants of a unique island state, which in its own way protects its own and tirelessly promotes its precedents; it is an attempt to find out what conclusions the descendants of the Vikings drew from their victories and defeats and what we could learn from them. What is society talking about a few steps towards gender equality, on the border between intervention medicine and prevention medicine, where policemen do not carry weapons, but stubborn whalers are still waiting for prey in the coastal zone? The collection is based on interviews with the country's leaders, influential entrepreneurs, scientists, educators and representatives of the creative industries. Their stories are unlikely to leave anyone indifferent, because they are to some extent about each of us.
