5 reasons to buy: 1. A book about choosing a path in dark times. 2. The author claims, "Humanism is simple." Check whether his characters will confirm or refute this. 3. The author, inheriting the traditions of Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin, and... Chekhov, wrote a story about love and kindness — whatever may be hidden behind the conspiratorial thickets and futurological research. 4. Read the novel and collect a collection of the most relevant events and memes of the coming year. 5. For more than thirty years, Viktor Pelevin has remained one of the most significant figures in Russian literature and a notable figure in world culture — evidenced by prestigious domestic and international awards. Viktor Pelevin has once again pulled out of the noosphere the premonitions and probabilities to tell readers about the world they live in. He has reassembled reality, changing nothing, but explaining every event that has triggered the domino effect we are witnessing now. Pelevin's prose — whatever you call it: meta-irony, science fiction, psychedelia, a new iteration of the great Russian novel — is an annual meticulous analysis of current objectivity. And it is explanations of what is happening that readers are waiting for. And they will get it.
