About the book: 2022 / Shamil Idiatullin is a writer and journalist, twice winner of the Big Book Prize (“The City of Brezhnev”, “The Former Lenin”), author of the mystical thrillers “Ubyr” and “Last Time”. His new book contains exciting stories where a fantastic plot is combined with desperate psychologism. Here the little man is small, but the ancient evil is huge, parental love confidently leads to monstrous sacrifices, the city of childhood disappears from Google maps, grandfathers communicate with distant grandchildren through AI translators, and the path to immortality is paved with corpses - in a word, everything is like with people. This is simply fantastic, the author believes. Does this console you? Attention! Contains profanity!
