Just read a book. You're probably thinking, well obviously. When don't I read books. However, this one was exceptionally good. Sergei Lukyanenko is a Russian author most known for his Night Watch series, which is also phenomenal.
This book gives its readers into a future that is inhabited by aliens, both allies and enemies of the human race. The humans race has relied so heavily on genetic engineering that normal humans are little more than inconsequential peasants. It’s a fun, mysterious, sci-fi adventure that brings up a lot of deep and even controversial questions, especially when looked at through the lens of Russian culture and perspective.
Sergei Lukyanenko has always been a favorite of mine, in the Russian authors that I read. While at times the tone and syntax feels off I realize that may be more of a translation issue and not the writing itself. He tells an amazing story, that holds the readers attention, and you won’t want to put it down to find out what happens next.
But don’t let the Cancel Culture Mob find it they may not approve. As there are some themes and plot lines they wouldn’t approve of. But if they want to know what specifically they’ll have to take the time to read themselves. However since the author is Russian and not American they probably won’t even give a shit 🤷♀️ That seems to be how it is. Go read a book.
Till Next Time Friends,
