This cycle began as a spin-off to "Black Planet", but gradually its heroes, as often happens, became more and more filled with life, gained independence and categorically did not want to die. So so be it. The result was a kind of mixture of "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." and cyberpunk. For those who are too lazy to search and read the original cycle on liters ( a brief background: Dominion (or in the official language: Dominium) is terrestrial planet. The distance to Earth is 24.7 light years. It was populated by the first wave of expansion and was the very first of the colonized planets, which was facilitated by the almost complete absence of hostile life forms on the planet’s land. Quite quickly the settlers got used to it. The rapid development of industry began, and it was distinguished by a disproportionately large share of manual labor. The population of the colony grew rapidly and within fifty years the only continent on the planet was completely populated. The local biosphere was either destroyed or mutated. Consumption grew along with population growth, industry developed to meet people's needs and required more and more workers. The circle is closed. No environmental legislation existed, and weak attempts to pass necessary laws were blocked by the corporate lobby. Gradually, people began to feel the consequences of extensive development. Environmental pollution became critical and began to cause mutations among introduced terrestrial species and even among humans. Around this time, the first residential cluster was built - a huge array of elite housing, provided with everything necessary and isolated from the biosphere environment. Then followed a series of man-made disasters that made survival on the surface very difficult. The cluster construction program was accelerated, but there was no talk of any elitism. Now these were ceramic plastic boxes with minimal life support and amenities. People moved into them, leaving the factories to robots and a few technological personnel who did not take off their protective suits. Meanwhile, the greenhouse effect has begun on the planet. Now from space it was visible as a black ball covered with clouds without a single speck of light. In residential clusters, the resettled population was under total control, but the situation was still constantly teetering on the brink of rebellion. The drug trade was actually legalized, soft drugs were distributed free of charge by the state medical service. Epidemics broke out, completely destroying entire tiers. Crime flourished. Gangs formed and disintegrated, sometimes numbering hundreds of thousands of members (with an average population of a typical cluster of about 20 million people). Two of the heroes of this book were members of one of these gangs, which was most likely organized by people from the technical service.
