The spiraling march of the word to the core of the world soul, disguised as a pile of combat leaflets; a treatise on the phenomenology of the Russian spirit, disguised as the diary of a mental exhibitionist; a joyful song of freedom, disguised as the dull murmur of an embittered reactionary; a pompous feast, disguised as the gloomy meal of a sectarian hermit; the insinuating rustle of a thinking reed in the center of an electronic storm, disguised as an elegant intellectual somersault — all this is the book by Nikolai Staroobryadtsev, a theorist-terrorist and a smuggler of meanings, author of the scandalous novels "Aristotle in Kazakhstan" and "Zombies, Cyborgs, and Schizophrenic Clones."
This kind and daring book is meant for students and graduate students, workers and peasants, as well as anyone who believes that a person is something more intriguing than a well-trained monkey dazed by dreams of civil society, and that freedom is not merely the right to gratify animal instincts.
