About the book: year / Technomagic. The story is dedicated to smart, talented, intelligent people with whom I was lucky enough to study, work or just communicate. This is a novel about real people, in whose existence many of my contemporaries no longer believe: about talented engineers and humanists passionate about their profession, about cunning politicians and military men... yes, and about magicians too. If you believe that magicians do not exist, you have no moral right to read poetry or use electricity. Bonus track: a practical guide to reconstructing a ruined castle and farming in an extreme farming zone.
