About the book: 1972 / A young cyberneticist, overexerting himself at work, suffered a stroke. After discharge, he was advised to relax in nature. In the village he meets a colleague, Arkady Nenashev. Arkady was able to intellectually “push” the brain of an ordinary cow, Masha, and... the cow spoke. The problems began when it finally became clear that the animal has not only the ability to think, but also its own personality.
