About the book: 2017 / "Text" is the first realistic novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of "Metro", "The Future" and "Twilight". This book is at the intersection of thriller, noir novel and drama, a story about the clash of generations, about impossible love and useless retribution. The action takes place in today's Moscow and its suburbs. The telephone has become a backup storage for the soul. It contains our most vivid memories: we store our laughter in photographs and moments of happiness in videos. The mail contains instructions from my mother and business details. The history of browsers is all that is really interesting to us. In the chats there are declarations of love and farewells, pictures of temptations and evidence of sins, tears and grievances. Such a time. Pictures, videos, text. The phone is me. The one who gets my phone will become me for the rest. By the time they notice, it will be too late. For everyone.
