Description

Illegal use of drugs, psychotropic substances, and their analogues harms health; their illegal trafficking is prohibited and entails liability under the law.

Julian Beriman returns to the Federal Republic of Eastern Australia— the newest mid-21st-century tyranny—after a year away. This is a police state where pop music is used as a propaganda tool, science is declared a threat, and “immorality” can end in indefinite imprisonment. Julian is the bass guitarist of “Acceptable,” the country’s most popular band, and the group urgently needs to record a second album: the debut has already gone platinum. But during the time of his departure, a new “miracle drug” B has appeared on the underground scene—one said to be able to show the future. Julian’s perception of time changes: new possibilities open up before him, and his rare gift—seeing farther than others—becomes extremely important for those trying to resist the FR EA’s totalitarian isolationist regime.

First time in Russian: a book called “an anti-fascist hymn to the power of popular music” (Sydney Morning Herald), “a road movie drenched in psychedelic colors” (Sydney Review of Books), “an intoxicatingly cyberpunk satire” (Guardian), and “’1984’ for a new era—like it was written jointly by Kurt Vonnegut and Philip Dick” (NZ Herald).
