Description

“Text” is Dmitry Glukhovsky’s first realistic novel, the author of “Metro,” “Future,” and “Twilights.” This book stands at the intersection of a thriller, a noir novel, and a drama— a story about a clash of generations, an impossible love, and pointless retribution. The action takes place in today’s Moscow and its suburbs.

A phone has become a reserve storage for the soul. In it are our brightest memories; we keep our laughter in photographs and moments of happiness in videos. In the mail, there are instructions from mother and the business underbelly. In the history of browsers—everything that interests us in truth. In chats—confessions of love and goodbyes, shots of temptations and evidence of sins, tears and resentments. Such times.

Pictures, video, text. The phone is me. Whoever gets my phone will become me for everyone else. When they notice, it will already be too late. For everyone.
