18+ Artyom is an ordinary guy with micro-loans, a broken smartphone, and a chronic unwillingness to save anyone—even himself. But one package delivered to a suspiciously stinking basement, and suddenly he’s no longer in Russia—he’s in a world where in ancient gardens there are statues of cosmo-Lenin, elf communes worship Saint Yuri, a giant space station hangs in the sky, and smartphones are treated like artifacts from a forgotten era.
This is fantasy for those who: laugh at pathos and recognize themselves in a confused antihero; grew up on «Stalker», Pelevin, and «The Soviet Union That Never Was»; want not only to escape into another world, but also to laugh at the very escape-genre itself.
