Fishermen and Grapegrowers

You are holding a mysterious book by a mysterious writer, whose biography could itself become an adventure novel. The plot is based on the assumption that, starting from 2013 to the present, civilization has entered a period of self-destruction. This... hypothesis does not seem too incredible, as it is known that from time to time huge populations of animals commit inexplicable suicides. So too does civilization, like everything on the planet, cyclically perish and similarly cyclically revive. However, there are specialists for whom saving the world is everyday work. They are trying to counteract the impending catastrophe, essentially trying to change the very laws of the universe. But will the cure for the apocalypse turn out to be no less terrifying than the End of the World? The author himself calls the genre of the book science fiction. However, there are too many strange coincidences with reality. So many that one begins to wonder: what if all the mind-bending events of the novel are true? And the phrase from one of the main characters is indeed justified: "People, you know nothing about the world you live in!"
