"It's a short story about the right answer to the right question, about lies about society, about everything in the human lifestyle. I was developed as an author reading books of American sci-fi of the '60s, the golden age of English sci-fi short stories. So the story is somehow referred to that time. And probably at the right time, the story would have become famous back then. Unfortunately, I was born a bit later, and nowadays, a few read those great masters who earned their "Nebulas" and "Hugos". My "Hugo" and "Nebula" won't come. Too late. The era of genius short stories has gone.... more>>
