The hail is doomed. Strugatsky A.N., Strugatsky B.N.

One of the most mysterious books of the Strugatsky brothers, the genre and goals of which each reader determines for himself in his own way. Philosophical parable? Dystopia? Roman growing up? The main character, Andrei Voronin, enters the city where the universal right to diverse work applies. He tries himself in different professions and finds himself in complex, sometimes conflicting life situations. What is the purpose of the mysterious city experiment that encounters each other, pulled out of different temporary layers? Or is this the case when the correct statement of the question is much more important than the answer?
