Дерек Кюнскен, «Квантовый Волшебник». Новый для меня автор, на которого я наткнулся, пока искал себе какое-то лёгкое чтиво в перерывах между серьёзной фантастикой.
Внезапно, роман сильно превзошёл мои ожидания и оказался совсем не простым. Хотя по сюжету это что-то вроде авантюрного кино в стиле «Друзей Оушена» — герой набирает команду для совершения хитрого дела, только события происходят в далёком будущем в космосе, а в команде есть люди-мутанты со сверхспособностями.
Сам центральный персонаж тоже мутант — генетически изменённый человек, которому в грудную клетку вживлены электропластины наподобие тех, что у угрей, а к органам чувств добавлены магнитосомы — специальные клетки, которые умеют улавливать электромагнитное поле и ограниченно им манипулировать. Но это не всё — способность управлять электричеством это не оружие, а механизм для модификации токов в коре головного мозга. Входя в особое состояние, мозг героя превращается в квантовый компьютер. Кстати, отдельно отмечается, что герой в этом состоянии теряет свою личность, поэтому перестаёт быть наблюдателем и не производит своим воздействием редукцию фон Неймана :)
В общем, научная составляющая в книге хорошая. Она не гениальная и не без изъянов (например, сцепленные частицы в сюжете таки передают информацию), но крепкая, и не ломает лично мою приостановку неверия. Возможно, специалист по квантовой физике читал бы с меньшим удовольствием, но я прямо кайфовал.
Команда тоже интересная. Автор делает своеобразную отсылку к фентези: есть аналог гномов, аналог людей-рыб, сам центральный герой это «маг», есть «воин» (девушка-солдат с усиливающими имплантами), и есть «вор» — искусственный интеллект, взламывающий замки. Короче, очень прикольно, чтиво для гиков. А конкретно я ещё и больше люблю технологический сайфай, нежели средневековое фентези.
При этом текст не глупый и не легкомысленный. Диалоги отличные. Герои, конечно, несколько поляризованы, но они задаются глубокими вопросами и ведут любопытные обсуждения. Есть сюжетная арка про генетические эксперименты с религией, и она настолько ошеломительно крутая и полна неожиданно свежих идей, что я напишу как-нибудь про это отдельный пост.
На английском выпущено ещё две книги, вторая в переводе выходит в этом месяце, очень жду.

Bangladesh Could Find Itself Heading for Huge Changes
The Bangladesh Nationalist party (BNP) led by Tarique Rahman has claimed a sweeping victory in the country’s first election since a gen-Z uprising toppled the autocratic regime of Sheikh Hasina.
By Friday morning, results had shown a clear win for the BNP, returning them to power after 20 years. The vote had been seen as the first free and fair election held in Bangladesh for almost two decades and came after a period of significant political upheaval in the country.
This victory was expected,” said Salahuddin Ahmed, a leading BNP committee member. “It is not surprising that the people of Bangladesh have placed their trust in a party … capable of realising the dreams that our youth envisioned during the uprising.”
Ahmed acknowledged a difficult task lay ahead for the new BNP government, which has pledged a new era of democracy and zero tolerance towards corruption. “This is not a time for celebration, as we will face mounting challenges in building a country free from discrimination,” he said.
By about midday local time, the BNP had won 208 seats while their rival, the Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami, had claimed 69 seats.
India was among the first countries to congratulate the BNP. Relations between the two neighbours had plummeted since the fall of Hasina and the message from Indian prime minister, congratulating the BNP on their “decisive” win, was seen to extend an olive branch to the new government.
“India will continue to stand in support of a democratic, progressive and inclusive Bangladesh,” said Modi, adding that he was looking forward to working with Rahman.
Rahman, who returned to Bangladesh in December after 17 years of exile in London, is now poised to become the country’s next prime minister. He comes from one of the country’s most powerful political dynasties; the son of former prime minister Khaleda Zia and former president Ziaur Rahman, who was assassinated in 1981.
The election was the first truly competitive vote in years. As documented for years by human rights groups and the UN, Hasina’s regime routinely suppressed dissent of its critics and political opponents, thousands who were disappeared, tortured and killed in secret jails. Many emerged only after Hasina was toppled. The past three elections under Hasina were marred by widespread allegations of vote-rigging.
The student-led uprising that toppled Hasina’s 15-year regime in August 2024 had been prompted by mounting anger over widespread corruption, human rights abuses and an economic slump. The uprising, and Hasina’s brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, left an estimated 1,400 people dead, according to the UN.
For the past 18 months, the country has been run by an interim government under Bangladesh’s only Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who was tasked with readying the country for free and fair elections. Speaking after casting his vote in Dhaka, Yunus said that the country had “ended the nightmare and begun a new dream.”
