For the first time in Russian - the most amazing debut in British prose in recent years! This author has been compared to Philip K. K. and Michael Crichton, Douglas Adams and Haruki Murakami. The hero of the book, Eric Andersen (the second), does not remember anything about his past life: doctors believe that all memory was erased by severe trauma. However, Eric receives letters from Eric Andersen (the first), who explains to him how to make a divergence-free conceptual loop from four voice recorders, how to find the Committee for the Study of the Extradimensional World, how to decipher the Lamp Fragment. But all these half-measures will not save Eric from a ruthless predator, tirelessly following in his wake. The key to salvation lies with the urban guerrilla Scout, with her menthol cigarettes and grenades assembled from typewriter keys.
