Synopsis
In a colorful and exciting story about the adventures of the protagonist Don and his two companions, they will go out of this Universe and come back. The action spans 3,000 years into the future, and the story moves backwards.
A classic novel contains an incredible interweaving of impressive knowledge from astrophysics, evolution, politics, engineering and technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, the physics of small particles and the universe.
The text is irritation and stimulation, at times a slap in the face, at times an encouragement for man, his civilization and the direction in which he and his universe, personal and cosmic, are developing.
The main character Don together with two friendly robots nicknamed Hal and R2D2 travel through the known and unknown universe and discuss all the changes that have occurred until the year 4500. It is practically about the future possible history of mankind.
Reviews
With an incredible interweaving of impressive knowledge from astrophysics, evolution, politics, engineering and technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, physics of small particles and the universe.
Genre-wise, stylistically and thematically, this is a unique text. In the novel, man has about 600 years to find a solution to the speed with which the universe is expanding, which, because it is faster than the speed of light, will produce total darkness. And he failed.
Today, a person does not even have 60 years to solve capital problems. Perhaps it will succeed with the help of artificial intelligence and its recipes for conflict resolution.
With an English translation, this work by Valentin Neshovski, I am sure, will become a European and world bestseller.
Branko Trichkovski, journalist
Although the title of this novel is pessimistic, the last thought, death and apocalypse still happen in our infinite (for wandering) yet limited universe, but not in its environment (that outside) which we are about to realize because one's own spiritus movens, an impulse that dies last. With such a philosophical concept, Neshovski still offers us, the readers, with intention or without intention, comfort, and comfort is perhaps the most deficient emotion in our everyday life.
Related to the philosophical, the author continues to deal with the archetypal challenge of "awareness" – Who are we? When are we? (a central innovative question of the previous novel) and Where are we moving, that is, what is our meaning and role?, capturing in this novel, the "awareness" that is created outside of us, embedded in the virtual network of GVI algorithms, and which simply we have to admit that it makes us more aware (with a tendency to transit towards super-humans), not necessarily more conscientious, but also creates risks, that GVI under certain circumstances starts to act independently of the environment and us as its creators, and set itself himself the same "philosophical" questions.
