The worlds in the stories of Mikhail Bochkarev, collected in the collection “Moon Syndrome,” are sometimes absurd and fantastic. Not so here. In the city of N-sk, all the townspeople grow tails, and under the summer shops there are bottomless wallets containing untold riches. Simple medical workers discover a way to manipulate people's consciousness, and the moon turns out to be just an illusory artificial satellite, invented along with the rest of the world by a crazy creature who thinks that he himself is a man... These stories immerse the reader in worlds viewed as if through the glasses of a clever device that gives feeling of complete freedom. It seems that the impossible is possible here - you just have to adjust the sharpness correctly and enter this wonderful world...
