“Stranger in a Strange Sea” belongs to the genre of transutopia, i.e. The circumstances and events here are not something fabulous. “Stranger in a Strange Sea,” like “Constellation Erectus” and “Deportation,” is written about events in some, potentially very near future, i.e. in a world that is not particularly different from today in its general socio-political structure. Almost all political-economic processes and phenomena against which the action develops already exist now, as an objective reality given to us in sensations and a quasi-objective unreality given to us in the mass media. Some newspaper articles, television reports, interviews, round tables and public speeches by political and religious leaders may largely coincide with those you see on TV today, tomorrow or in a year.
