Хищные вещи века. Аркадий и Борис Стругацкие @slushaiknigu

The novel "Predatory Things of the Century" combines a gripping detective story with a portrait of consumer society. It's a complex picture: everyone seems well-fed and content, yet you long to escape this world. Is it impossible for a person to live and remain human without working? Is escapism really so bad if you have a choice of how to live and what to do? The work is highly ambiguous, perhaps because we live in exactly the same world as the Strugatsky brothers described. The 21st century is an era of change... Cosmonaut Ivan Zhilin plunges into this world, having returned forever to Earth, where the "predatory things of the century" await him. "We stand on the threshold of the World of Abundance and must be prepared to decide how to relate to this world." "All of us together and each of us individually…" – this is how Boris Strugatsky writes about the story "Predatory Things of the Century," which once seemed ironic and completely fantastical, but now, in our time, has proven prophetic – and almost realistic! • Full version of the audiobook: https://clck.ru/3Qm7Du • Audio library: https://clck.ru/3PZ4Ys
