About the book: 2016 / In 2014, a turning point came. Those excellent chances that the Russian Federation had back at the end of 2013 turned out to be mediocrely wasted. The Novorossiya project failed. The country's economy began to decline, receiving a blow in the form of falling world oil prices. Moreover, everyone understands that this fall is serious and for a long time. Devaluation came, and we again plunged into poverty, like in the 90s. Citizens of the Russian Federation discovered with horror that the previous economy and management system were no good. That the country is drowning in a heap of problems, that money is melting like snow under the rays of the spring sun. What next? It is obvious that the country, if it wants to survive and not merge with Ukraine into one zone of collapse, savagery and chaos, needs to change. But how? You are holding in your hands a book written by two authors: a philosopher and a futurologist. We live in a time when the main question is “Why?” Search for meaning. Why should we do something? This is the first question. Why strive somewhere, invent, build? After all, people who are disadvantaged, powerless, and poor do not need any Mars, no great power. They don't care about science and technology, they care about their own lives. This is how breakdowns occur into the dark ages, into regression, into new barbarism. In this book, the first part is devoted precisely to the meaning, specifically to the Russian idea. And the second is how to implement this idea. The first steps you need to take. The foundation that will have to be laid to endow the Russian idea with technosense.
