Dead Head

The wild forests of Brazil, reluctantly revealing secrets to the inquisitive mind of a biologist.

The harsh icy caves of Greenland – burial places for tens of thousands of workers who became the "ballast of the economy".

The greening deserts of Central Asia, regularly irrigated by artificially induced rains.

The most incredible visions of the future – as imagined by the great novelist in the 1920s – await the reader in this collection.

• 1. Alexander Belyayev – a classic of science fiction, whose work is compared to that of Jules Verne and Herbert Wells. His ideas were often prophetic, and his books became the basis for cult adaptations. This book will be a valuable addition to the collection of any genre enthusiast.
• 2. The book features vivid pictures of the future as seen by the author in the 1920s: from the wild Brazilian forests to climate experiments in Central Asia. This allows for tracing how science fiction reflected and anticipated real scientific discoveries.
• 3. Belyayev's works combine an exciting plot with profound social and ethical questions: what it means to be human in a world of technology, how society deals with the "ballast of the economy", how science changes the landscape of the planet – topics that are still relevant today.
