About the book: 2021 / After decades of luring, prodding and promises of paradise, technocrats have put checkmate to humanity. They closed the Age of Enlightenment and plunged man into a state of narcissistic anesthesia. The planet, which man is rapaciously plundering, strikes back, and the self-proclaimed “elite,” instead of looking for a way out, hacks into “homo sapiens” in order to use him as raw material in search of the coveted Grail of power. How did we, the community of “homo sapiens,” come to this, having traveled in fifty thousand years from cave paintings and tom-toms to ballet and Tolstoy, and then in just fifty years from Tolstoy back to rap and graffiti? Why were people so quick to give up rights won through centuries of struggle? And the main question: is a world without intelligent life inevitable? And what is the chance of salvation??
