A powerful and painfully incomprehensible Space Monster lands on Russian territory... A treasure hunter fearlessly overcomes deadly traps in the “Ali Baba's cave”... Ellen Agathocles takes part in a sea gladiatorial battle... A Moscow homeless man receives an unusual gift from above... Each of the works in this collection is the story of a choice made by one person or all of humanity. I really want to strive for the best, choosing easy and unburdensome paths for this. I really want simple solutions. Everyone dreams of a fairy tale that has migrated into reality, and even with such a scenario that there is no need to decide anything. But it’s true: sometimes the best choice is not choosing. But won't our distant descendants turn into happy inhabitants of the Space Monster?
