“Return from the Stars.” A dystopia that is deservedly placed on a par with such iconic novels as “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury and “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. A participant in the interstellar expedition, Al Bragg, returns to Earth through 127 years after leaving and finds himself in a brave new world. A world where there is no old age, illness, fear. But behind the screen of general well-being, Al feels an emptiness that rejects him as too real and therefore a dangerous stranger... “Futurological Congress.” How to water the meadows so that cottage cheese is formed from the grass from the sun’s rays, and why You shouldn’t accept an offer from strangers to “get dirty on Saturday for grinding”? A book without which the “Matrix” trilogy would not have existed. A book first published back in 1971 and which turned out to be almost incredibly prophetic.
