One of the recurring themes in the Strugatskys’ work is the theme of “progressors”—the intervention of a highly developed future Earth civilization in the public life of backward planets. Desperate and often naïve attempts to accelerate progress, to warn other worlds about mistakes made by Earthlings, throw Noble Emissaries into the most different epochs and countries. But in the novella “A Guy from the Underworld,” the authors will take the opposite step: on Earth in the 22nd century, an ordinary soldier named Gag will end up—whose planet is so much like our own, today’s rather frightening, ill-organized, but so familiar world.
