The Highest Caste

A General of the FSB, Viktor Krasnoperov, invites his friends—sated with luxury life—to take part in a top-secret experiment. Russian scientists have found in human DNA a “thread of time,” on which, like a video recorder, a person’s life is recorded. A scientific breakthrough turns into entertainment—a “dreamtripping” for the powerful, who can, while asleep, live the life of their historical idol. What will this lead to, and will the general be able to resist the temptations of someone else’s fate? All of it is told in the vivid novel “The Higher Caste.”
