Unprincipled Readings. Visions of the Future. Reality 2104
8 hrs. 28 min.
Description
A collection of fantastic stories by modern authors, offering optimistic scenarios for humanity’s development by 2104. It is an alternative to grim anti-utopias, showing that the future can be bright and inspiring.
LITERARY-THEATRICAL PROJECT “UNPRINCIPLED READINGS,” THE “ATOM” MUSEUM, AND PUBLISHING HOUSE “AST” PRESENT a collection of stories on the topic “VERSIONS OF THE FUTURE.”
“We just wanted to look at the future in a different format, because if you take a look at any works of art about the future, there are four ways humanity can develop: 1) we will destroy ourselves, 2) an ecological catastrophe, 3) artificial intelligence will enslave us, or 4) aliens will arrive as well—with not-so-kind purposes. We don’t believe in the future… And ‘Unprincipled Readings’ does!”
Aleksandr Tsypkin, writer, founder of the “Unprincipled Readings” project
“Creativity is the foundation of the future. Sometimes people of science and art make a fundamentally new step without realizing what the result will be—and often completely new hypotheses are born, a new world is created. At first glance, science and culture are two spheres that might seem far apart. But that’s not the case: when they come together, they create a wonderful basis for progress and the development of society.”
Elena Mironenko, director of the “ATOM” foundation
“The goal of our project is to popularize contemporary Russian prose and attract new generations to the ‘Readings’ in the broadest sense of the word.”
Anastasia Priz, producer, co-founder of the “Unprincipled Readings” project
The book includes works by winners of the short prose contest “Future. Cosmos. New Technologies,” as well as stories by modern domestic science-fiction writers.
