Description
A fantastic novel about the structure of reality, incredible horizons of utopia, and, of course, love.

Alina, in the past a promising scientist in artificial intelligence, is suddenly invited to take part in a strange experiment: she will have to make contact with a creation of the highest intelligence named Elena. The research interaction turns into something immeasurably greater. For those who can withstand her "neurostorm," Elena’s machine changes consciousness and opens a completely new picture of the universe.

A novel that begins like science fiction quickly crosses the boundaries of the genre and literary norms, becoming an innovative, explosive, penetrating text about life, the universe, human perception, reason, and feelings.

This complex, boundary-expanding story is retold with depth and mastery by actress Maria Orlova.

Alla Gorbunova is a poet, prose writer, and critic, author of the books "Things and Organs," "The End of the World, My Love," and others. Laureate of the NOC, Debut, and Andrei Bely Prize.

Press on the book:

"‘Your tin can broke’ is a hymn to complexity and diversity, to the world and war, to eternal life and fiery, all-consuming burning, to invulnerability and the soul-wrenching defenselessness of everything that exists," — Galina Yuzefovich.

"Alla Gorbunova has written a truly psychodelic novel—in the sense that amid a dense flow of versions, theories, and images, within the space of absolute creative freedom, the reader in any case has to assemble their own puzzle. And this, in its own way, is a unique literary phenomenon, somewhat akin to puzzle novels by Julio Cortázar," — Artem Roganov.

"The Gorbunova phenomenon is that she manages to write complex and simple at the same time: her complexity lies not so much in the language as in the meanings hidden behind it. ‘Tin’ can be seen as an example of interactive prose, in which the reader plays the role of a full participant in what is happening, or it can be experienced as a real literary-esoteric event that releases both the author and the reader," — Ksenia Gritsenko.
