0.5

0.5 is an audio series in which the main character is a “grave robber.” More precisely, at first he isn’t a grave robber at all, but an ordinary guy from an unnamed provincial northern town who argued with his stepfather and dropped out of university. No money—yet the rent payment days loom over him like guillotines. Is it an easy path? And are the wall slogans about 80 thousand rubles a week true?

The means and methods described in the novel correspond to the real situation in 2014–2015.

One of the features is the sound design: most sounds were recorded by the author themselves. If the hero moves through the streets, those are our—native—streets; if he’s riding in an elevator, that’s the very elevator built by mogilyovliftmash. In addition, the book uses an author’s soundtrack that thematically complements the events being described, and some of the characters are voice-acted. On top of that, there are small unique mechanics that have hardly been used in audiobooks before.
