Dedicated to the brilliant mathematician Grigory Perelman, the man who proved Poincaré's theorem. For unknown reasons, he declined the Clay Mathematics Institute's one million US dollar prize. He did not explain the motives for his action. “A Million for a Genius” is an experimental book. The form is a novel within a novel. One unknown Writer writes a book about the great Mathematician - Genius, a man who did not take his well-deserved “million”. Gradually he realizes that he has completely changed his life, but he can no longer write, and now these two are trampling on their lives, giving birth to brilliant creations in a crazy fantasy: one on the pages of a novel, the other in reality. But this world is compressed on all sides by familiar shackles and rules. The world is primitive, it does not want to change, allowing someone else to approach it. These two are outside the generally accepted rules and norms (concepts). Therefore, everything happens in some kind of surreal image and dimension. This is the only way to perceive it and exist. The writer goes through all the stages: from obscurity and humiliation to fame... but to even greater humiliation. That's how life works. His hero repeats these actions in his own way. Or maybe now he himself is following his hero?... Everything is confused, everything has been transformed. People turn into symbols, events into a mystical novel. The line between real and fictional is already lost, and only one thing remains unshakable - the main condition of this life, which is called the “Action” genre...
