A talented PR specialist—the “media man”—in principle doesn’t care who to work for; he’s a fanatic of media itself, that is, of the press. That’s why he switched from one camp to another, devising intricate schemes of PR moves, right up to “an information terrorist act.” In the end, he becomes a victim of a PR campaign where people die for real... “When the first batch of people preparing to start the workday spilled out of the glass doors of the metro onto the street, somewhere to the left a blast went off. I mean, at first nobody even realized it was an explosion. Just some loud pop, and that was it. Then, once the space filled with acrid smoke and the first female screams rang out—‘They killed a man with a grenade!’—a general panic began. The crowd scattered in all directions, driven by shared fear.” An excerpt from a story
