Алексей Калугин, «Там». Встречается название «Город крыс».
Когда я слушал эту книгу, постоянно хотел бросить. Недаром она так похожа на «Град обречённый», который мне совсем не понравился. И уж точно не собирался писать о ней пост. Но прошло время, и я понял, что произведение оставило очень интересное послевкусие. Бывает, читаешь книгу взахлёб, а через месяц уже не помнишь, о чём она была. Тут же совсем наоборот: я прям еле-еле сквозь неё продирался, но через несколько месяцев всё ещё переживаю в уме сюжет и обдумываю идеи автора.
Описан замкнутый со всех сторон город с абсолютно идентичными кварталами и домами. Всё под управлением ИИ. За все нужды людей отвечают роботы и компьютеры, да так, что человеку не нужно даже покидать своё жилище. Собственно, никто и не покидает. Общаются через подобие виртуальной реальности, еда доставляется автоматически. У одного из персонажей есть жена, но тему отношений, семьи и продолжения рода автор не раскрыл.
Главный герой внезапно становится озадачен такой жизнью и начинает исследовать. Даже просто покинуть жильё — очень тяжёлый шаг, к которому он специально готовится. Сначала делает небольшую вылазку, потом побольше, потом с трудом вытаскивает из дома своего друга. Улицы пусты, хотя в городе есть робо-такси, робо-кафе, и вообще куча всякой инфраструктуры для людей. Атмосфера очень гнетущая, и детально описывается, как герой её изучает. С ИИ (который тут называется Инфор) можно общаться только косвенно, хотя обычные сервисные роботы без проблем поддерживают диалог, но толком ничего не знают. Кстати, присутствие роботов иногда доходит до абсурда: например, роботы-швейцары в каждом доме имеют по одной руке, которая намертво соединена с дверью, и вся их функция состоит в том, чтобы эту дверь открывать. В городе, где никто не выходит из домов, да.
Надо сказать, что ответы на вопросы автор даёт скорее философские, чем материальные. С моей точки зрения это минус, один из главных, из-за которых я книгу рекомендовать не хотел. Но, уверен, есть люди, которым очень зайдёт. Вообще, всё произведение в некотором роде о смысле жизни. О том, что делает жизнь интересной и имеющей какую-то ценность, в том числе для нас самих. Общество, где людям доступно всё, кроме цели, выглядит совершенно удручающе.
Концовка открытая, и опять же, лично я такое сильно не люблю.
Пробежался по названиям и обложкам других книг Алексея Калугина — создалось впечатление, что сейчас он просто клепает всякий масс-маркет ради денег. Моя гипотеза такая: «Там» это такой творческий порыв автора. Не идеальный, с косяками, полу-артхаусный и, видимо, плохо продавшийся, но всё-таки оригинальный и поднимающий какие-то внутренние идеи из глубины души, а потому и оставляющий след.

Crypto Under Attack: Binance Sounds the Alarm on Dangerous Malware Targeting Your Wallets!
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has issued an urgent warning about a new wave of malware targeting crypto wallets.
► Full News (Expand)
Chorus:
Watch your wallets, don’t slip, don’t trip,
Hackers on the rise, trying to take your grip.
Clipper’s lurking, gonna change your line,
Binance got your back, but the risk is prime.
Verse 1:
Crypto game’s cold, better watch your moves,
Clipper in the shadows, targeting your grooves.
Copy, paste, it flips—your funds shift fast,
Sent to the wrong place, your balance won’t last.
Binance says check, double, then again,
Verify addresses or risk the pain.
Blacklist growing, security’s tight,
But you gotta stay sharp, keep your coins in sight.
Chorus:
Watch your wallets, don’t slip, don’t trip,
Hackers on the rise, trying to take your grip.
Clipper’s lurking, gonna change your line,
Binance got your back, but the risk is prime.
Verse 2:
Fireblocks on deck, Binance teamed up strong,
Protecting your assets, tryna right the wrong.
Scams getting slicker, don’t fall for the trick,
Updates on the reg, keep your software quick.
CFTC’s out, spreading the word,
Educating masses, so the scams get curbed.
Verify your source, don’t download that trash,
Or your crypto dreams might burn and crash.
Chorus:
Watch your wallets, don’t slip, don’t trip,
Hackers on the rise, trying to take your grip.
Clipper’s lurking, gonna change your line,
Binance got your back, but the risk is prime.
Verse 3:
Scammers on the prowl, slick with their play,
But Binance is ready, keeping them at bay.
Cool-down periods, addresses on the block,
But the game’s not over, gotta watch that clock.
Education’s key, gotta stay on track,
Don’t let your guard down, or they’ll double back.
Crypto’s the future, but the road is tough,
Stay ahead of the game, keep your security buff.
Chorus:
Watch your wallets, don’t slip, don’t trip,
Hackers on the rise, trying to take your grip.
Clipper’s lurking, gonna change your line,
Binance got your back, but the risk is prime.
Bridge:
Educate yourself, don’t take the fall,
In this crypto world, you gotta stand tall.
From wallet to wallet, the chain is tight,
Stay secure, keep your coins in sight.

🚀 South Korea Implements New Rules for Managing Public-Sector Virtual Assets
South Korea has approved a plan to manage 78 billion won, equivalent to approximately $57.7 million, in public-sector virtual assets. According to NS3.AI, the new regulations mandate that any seized or confiscated cryptocurrency from personal wallets must be promptly transferred to an institutional cold wallet, which is not connected to the internet. Additionally, the rules stipulate that private keys and recovery phrases must be controlled by at least two individuals through a split-access arrangement.
