About the book: year / This book examines the combined space of fantastic literature and futurological research with the aim of searching for germs and loci of the emerging Future in literary works. We can safely assume that one of the measures of the quality of a literary work in such a vision is its innovativeness, the ability to bring something new into the traditional literary space. Literary texts from which the Future, its realities, heroes, and passions grow, turn out to be significant. Unusual or undescribed in our time, but relevant in the vital energy of the Future, showing the evolution of our feelings and thoughts.
