About the book: 2017 / This book, resurrecting the optimistic spirit of Golden Age science fiction, is dedicated to mankind's long-standing dream of flying into space, conquering other planets and exploring the solar system. Here, in the inhuman conditions of Jupiter, a new stage of human evolution is born, a risky scam turns into contact with another form of life, artists use entire planets as canvases, and the ordinary day of a spaceship control instructor turns into a real thriller. From the post-singularity to the challenges of artificial intelligence, from true utopia to new forms of society, this is Edge of Infinity, hard science fiction at its most extraordinary and exciting. Alastair Reynolds, James Corey, Hannu Ryaniemi, Bruce Sterling, Stephen Baxter, Paul Macauley, Pat Cadigan and many others - for the first time in Russian!
