Марк Уве-Клинг, «Страна качества». Уве-Клинг в первую очередь стендап-комик и автор комедийных скетчей, что сильно повлияло на книгу. Лично мне не хватило какой-то сюжетной целостности: весь текст это как бы склейка отдельных сценок в общем мире с общими героями. Персонажи, кстати, очень архетипичны, а главный герой, наоборот, сравнительно безликий наблюдатель. Я бы даже сказал, что главный герой тут — вы, тот, кто читает произведение. Тем не менее, в едкости и интересных идеях автору не занимать. «Страна качества» это сатирическая антиутопия об обществе потребления, причем, совсем не такая, как, например, «О дивный новый мир». Если у Хаксли за основу взяты глубинные соблазны людей, и на их основе смоделировано общество, то Уве-Клинг просто взял текущие реальные тренды и выкрутил в них все ручки на максимум. Не столь далёкое будущее, центром действия становится государство под названием Qualityland. Всех людей тут зовут именем + профессией родителя того же пола в момент зачатия. Например, главный герой Петер Безработный, хотя у него самого есть работа, но у его отца в момент его зачатия не было. Есть ещё, допустим, Мартин Управляющий, Конрад Повар, Мелисса Проститутка и другие. Конечно же, не обошлось без упоминания человека с именем Ганнибал Лектор. Вообще, у автора прекрасное чувство юмора с кучей пасхалок и отсылок. В Qualityland гипертрофированное до абсурда общество потребления, а люди в основном тупы, инертны и ленивы. В большинстве модальных окон в интерфейсах есть только кнопка ОК, даже если там задан вопрос, подразумевающий возможность отказа («Хотите посмотреть рекламу?»). Ещё в этом мире было посчитано, что уникальный рисунок губ более точен, чем отпечатки пальцев, поэтому люди оплачивают покупки, целуя экран своего гаджета — очень символично. Что касается товаров, то их доставляют дроны из магазина, даже если ты сам ничего не заказывал, потому что умные алгоритмы автоматически вычисляют, что именно тебе нужно, списывают с твоего счёта деньги за это и оформляют покупку без твоего участия. Это кажется диким, если не вспоминать, что у нас в нашей объективной реальности примерно такие же взаимоотношения с информацией: соцсети и алгоритмы корпораций решают за нас, какую информацию мы хотим потреблять, и доставляют её к нам. Вообще, читая эту книгу, я сначала пребывал в слезах от абсурдности и нереалистичности происходящего, а потом пребывал в слезах от осознания того, насколько близка наша реальная жизнь к чему-то подобному. Хоть центральный сюжет, на мой взгляд, вышел у автора беззубым и скомканным, острые и едкие детали в отдельных сценах и в описании мира можно пересказывать часами. Сквозь сатиру и гротеск иногда проглядывают любопытные размышления автора о неизбежном вреде человечеству от ИИ, исторические вставки с реальными фактами и вполне правдоподобные объяснения некоторых экономических эффектов. В общем, скорее рекомендую, чем не, но читать нужно с осторожностью, заранее воспринимая роман не совсем как обычное художественное произведение. Уже есть вторая книга, начну её сегодня. #fiction

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the meeting with delegation of the Permanent Committee of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (Perm, May 29, 2025) 💬 Sergey Lavrov: Dear colleagues, dear friends, This is the year when the International Conference of Asian Political Parties commemorates its 25th anniversary. And because of their reputation and their authority, they are a platform for exchanging views and experience in the context of party-to-party cooperation. Cooperation at this level is one of our priorities. It's a very useful addition to the so-called classical diplomacy and that contributes a lot to promoting mutual trust, mutual understanding between peoples. The creation of the conference is a signal, a very clear signal to the entire world. And very timely response to reconsider the place of the Asian countries in international and global developments. We assess very positively the increase of the political work of your conference. And we see with pleasure the sustainable process of expanding your influence in the continental architecture, in the architecture of regional organizations, some of which are experiencing erosion of their influence, if not degradation, since they abandoned practically all of the key principles of the UN Charter. I have in mind such organizations on our Eurasian continent as the European Union, which became more Euro-Atlantic than Eurasian following NATO. <...> In the last 10-15 years, all these principles including equal and indivisible security, including the statement that no one, be it the country or organization, should prepare to dominate in Europe, all this was abandoned, violated. 🌐 We need Eurasia of course. And by the way, Eurasia is the biggest, the richest continent. The continent which, unlike Africa and Latin America, is home of several world civilizations with thousands and thousands of years of history. <...> #Eurasia is the only continent which doesn't have any universal continental structure, like African Union in Africa, like CELAC in Latin America. We have quite a lot, many integrational movements, organizations which address security issues, like Shanghai Cooperation Organization, #ASEAN, Collective Security Treaty Organization (#CSTO), Commonwealth of Independent States (#CIS) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (#GCC), the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (#SAARC) and there is no umbrella. We are very much in favor of promoting party-to-party dialogue. Our ruling party, United Russia, in cooperation with other parliamentary parties and their fractions is promoting very actively this kind of cooperation. And I will highlight the initiative of United Russia of last year, when they convened a meeting of various parties to consider methods of fighting the new forms of colonialism and neo-colonialism. <...> A movement created on the basis of the conference, which is called "Freedom of Nations". ☝️ The inadmissibility of neo-colonial forms of exploitation is one of the agenda items of the Group of Friends of the UN Charter. Last year, we initiated, through this group, the resolution of the UN Committee on Decolonization. The draft resolution supported by this committee was accepted by the UN General Assembly. <..> A clear majority supported it. The idea is to announce the 14th of December, the day of the adoption of The Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples of 1960, as a date of fighting the new forms of neo-colonialism. Сolonial exploitation was very blunt. Slaves, you know, digging the resources and leaving the countries in very poor condition. If you take the economic system in the world, countries, especially in Africa, mostly produce, they provide natural resources to the western countries We would like to promote the movement to resolve this injustice. Without fighting any country, we never want to isolate any country from cooperation, but cooperation must be based on equal footing, just principles. 🤝 We express our readiness to cooperate with your conference.
