Anton's Collider

A unique bestseller. Listeners can become participants in a web game set in the world of the novel. The author wrote the book for over 6 years—and during that time the predicted future has already started to become real. Interesting: what other forecasts from the fictional universe will come true?

“Anton’s Collider” is the debut novel by Ilya Tekhlikidi, a creative producer, musician, and writer—an alumnus of the literary school “Glagol.” Working in the genre of anti-utopia, he explores the themes of interaction between new media, technologies, politics, and society.

The mid-21st century. RNKR—the Russian Neo-Communist Republic—ruled by artificial intelligence and major Chinese corporations. Every citizen here is under surveillance. And those who resist the system of total control are declared enemies and extremists.

Anton, a corporate data courier, must deliver twelve encrypted messages in one day—the number of stations on the Ring metro in the capital. You can’t be late. The Collider has already been launched.

Based on the novel, a web game is released: “In The Air. Fakes, That Kill.”
