Description

In 1946, Stalin gathered six top Soviet science fiction authors in a dacha to create a story about aliens poised to invade Earth. Convinced that America's defeat was imminent and the Soviet Union needed an external threat to unite its population, he tasked them with crafting a believable narrative. The writers spent months working on their project, but new orders from Moscow soon forced them to abandon it. The authors put their work aside, focusing on their lives until the aftermath of Chernobyl brought them together again. As they reflected on their past creation, something strange began to happen - the story they had invented was starting to come true. This novel is a mind-blowing exploration of science fiction, delving into the consequences of a fictional narrative becoming reality.
