About the book: 2017 / 3045. The Earth was not destroyed by a meteorite, did not perish in the abyss of the world's oceans, did not perish in the abyss of a nuclear holocaust. On the contrary, an era of general prosperity has arrived throughout the world. Progress has taken huge steps towards providing people with the greatest comfort and safety. Death became something accidental rather than inevitable. It was chosen by people who were fed up with life. In a world where there were no troubles, poverty, wars or diseases, where robots did all the main work, boredom became the main scourge of humanity. An escape from boredom was found in the company’s new service “Game of Life.” The progress of computer reality has advanced so far that it has become possible to simulate the entire world. The player lived a full life in it, experiencing real emotions - fear, pain, love, friendship and, of course, real death. Returning from the “Game”, he deeply breathed in the heavenly air of serenity and comfort of real, not virtual life. But, one day, the “Game” failed... In the author’s characteristic light, ironic manner, serious questions are raised about one’s own purpose, about finding oneself, about the true values ​​of our lives.
