About the book: 2024 / Modern devices are becoming smaller and smarter, and we are already accustomed to such things as voice control and a smart home. Our ancestors might have called it magic. What if they were right? Perhaps what we call magic is actually ancient technology that we have forgotten. These invisible devices have not disappeared; they still surround us. And the ancient magicians and wizards were real people who knew how to manage such technologies. The hero of this story, Sergei Titov, thought that he had become the only magician in the world, but it turned out that there were many like him. Ancient artifacts and secrets left over from lost civilizations are found all around us. And intelligence agencies around the world are looking for hidden “treasures”, trying to find and use people like Sergei.
