This book is an application for a new genre. A genre that the author himself, doctor of art history, associate professor at the European Humanities University, editor of a popular Belarusian weekly, defines as “dystopian reality.” “The specificity of our century is that dystopias can be written on completely real material. No need to invent “1984” anymore, just look around,” the novel urges. The text is about the feeling that arises when the phone rings in the middle of the night and you pick up the receiver, waking up straight into the echoing silence at the other end of the line. And the thought that now the doorbell will ring makes you so scared that... you go and open it. You open it - knowing that under no circumstances should you open the phone for those who are silent on the phone. The text is about a world in which every breath is eavesdropped and numbered, where every smile is recorded and entered into the register, where the only function of the walls is wiretapping, and passers-by are never random. A world that exists only in the dark kingdoms of your imagination. And about those invisible people who are silent on the phone and help this world penetrate you.
