MediaDB / «Reality is somewhere nearby” Andrey Imranov: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2008 / At what point does Sergei begin to understand that the world is not what it seemed to him at first? Or when a fifteen-year-old boy, who asked for a cup of tea with a famous science fiction writer, begins to perform tricks that are so inexplicable that you just want to call them miracles? Or when he announces that what Sergei writes about is not fantasy at all, but the most real reality? Or when it suddenly turns out that Sergei himself is not who he thought he was? Virtual... Someone is driven into him by an irresistible, almost drug addiction, someone by a thirst for profit, someone simply likes him. And some go to live in it, finally breaking all ties with reality. The heroes do not care about the ordinary inhabitants of the “virt” - they just need to return back to reality. Although one of them subconsciously does not mind staying in the “virt” forever - in reality, loneliness and a wheelchair await him. The second one strives for reality with all his soul, but is this possible in principle? One world is replaced by another; deserts, forests, ruins and cities... Everywhere life is in full swing, everywhere there are rules. It’s time to sing after Hermann from “The Queen of Spades”: “That our life is a game!” Reality? What is this?
