We are experiencing an anthropological shift that began when the internet began to disenchant the world (and, along the way, spawn new beliefs). During this time, we have become different people than the homo sapiens of the 20th century—just as our ancestors were different from the people of the Middle Ages. All of this is deeply troubling: wars, primarily Russia's war against Ukraine, continue, the climate is becoming harsher, and then AI is turning us into Vova in the Far Far Away Kingdom, and literature is about to lose its readership... But reality turns out to be even more beautiful and dangerous.
What does all this mean for those who still write books? And why write them at all? We discuss this with Nikolai V. Kononov, author of the novels "The Night We Disappeared" and "Uprising."
