Gray mirror. Grivalevsky A.V.

The popular series “Black Mirror” is gloomy - to match the name - fantasizes about modern technologies, social relations and their mutual influence. The collection “The Gray Mirror” by Andrei Grivalevsky is also, in general, more on this, although the story of the same name was written long before the release of the series. About a deadly immersion in video games - and no less dangerous "gamification" of a real war. About the information war, which very easily develops into hybrid, where there are no winners by definition, but there are always victims. About the dependencies of harmful and the dependencies of pleasant ones - but still creepy. But in the "gray mirror", unlike the "black", there is a clearance - the Multi -Jewish stories of Zhvalevsky are united not only by a serious reason for thoughts, but also with a light syllable, a dynamic plot and an excellent sense of humor. And a transparent humanistic message, which is the only way - easily, dynamically and with humor - and can be considered, perceived and adopted.
