“Soon there won’t be any movies, any theatre, any books, any newspapers,” claimed one television worker—and his dream came true; though, of course, television also disappeared. An era of morphoscripts arrived—interactive dreams in which the user can live any destiny and die heroically, and in the morning go back to work. The authors of morphoscripts are people with a special way of thinking, often right on the edge of what is considered mentally normal. Yet against that backdrop, Viktor Sigalov seems like an unusually distinct person. Viktor is one of the best scriptwriters, but instead of creating bestseller hits, he works as a beta tester and calmly thinks over an old dream: to create a morphoscript as limitless as the real world.
One day, an unknown development company invites Viktor to a strange project, and he realizes that some dreams must remain dreams. But what do you do when illusions have already become reality? First of all—learn to tell them apart.
