Description

Even before the era of humanity’s cosmic expansion, on Earth people refused to develop intelligent machines further, opting instead for a simple imitation of intelligence sufficient to handle practical tasks. But centuries later, on the distant planet Shatrang, the question of creating genuine machine intelligence arises again. The commander of the colonial base, Colonel Smirnov, sees the development of I-iskins capable of using the phenomenon of “temporal intuition” as the only chance to resolve the technological crisis. Then catastrophe strikes: during a flight mission to one of the mountain scientific stations, the best test pilot of Darmyna, Denis Abramtsyev, crashes and dies. The accident looks inexplicable and casts doubt on the project’s future.
