Old age of axolotl

Before you are other spaces, coming to life under the pen of Jacek Dukaj. In one of them, a neutron wave of unknown origin killed all life on Earth. Only those people who managed to digitize their minds survived. They live in the remaining networks, in the bodies of military, industrial and household robots, and begin to build a new civilization. But what will it be like now that a person is freed from the shackles of the body? In another, a dizzying and extremely unusual picture of the future unfolds before us, in which humanity, thanks to people who have entered into symbiosis with an alien organism, is mastering the distances of space. And when a researcher on another planet dies under mysterious circumstances, this seemingly private detective story threatens a crisis for our entire civilization. In the third, we find ourselves in a retrofuturistic future, where the crew of an ordinary space tractor encounters something unthinkable in the asteroid belt, either another intelligence, or a monstrous product of alien evolution. All this and much more awaits you in the collection of short novels and stories “The Old Age of the Axolotl,” which fascinates with landscapes of incredible, strange beauty and the uniqueness of truly complex but attractive worlds.
