MediaDB / «Country of Quality. Qualityland" by Mark-Uwe Kling: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2020 / Peter Unemployed lives in QualityLand, in the Land of Quality. He is a recycler of artificially intelligent machines. His life is subordinated to the System. Computers decide what to buy, who to love, who to vote for. Consumer utopia. Peter went with the flow until a drone from the most successful company in the world, TheShop, delivered an item he didn’t need – a sex toy in the shape of a pink dolphin. Peter decides to return it, but there is only one problem: to do this means to prove the error of the perfect algorithm and call into question the very principle of the existence of the Land of Quality. QualityLand, the first book by Mark-Uwe Kling translated into Russian, is a brilliantly clever satire in the tradition Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams and George Orwell, which offers a frightening and too funny look at the near future into which we are rushing faster than we care to admit. So why delay any longer? TheShop online store already knows what you will like!
