Sometimes the universe gives us clues.
Uncle Timur gave little Damira a toy elephant. This rag animal became the foundation of her world—Damira dedicated herself to fighting poachers and ivory hunters. Damira and many of her fellow rangers died in the unequal war with human greed, but her consciousness was digitized and, a hundred years later, transferred into the brain of a revived female mammoth, so that the human woman could help the population survive, impart her unique knowledge, and teach them how to be mammoths.
But human inhumanity knows no bounds, and now the scientist who brought mammoths back to life is taking a billionaire on a safari...
This collection includes the novella "The Age of Tusk" and a series of short stories from the "Istanbul Protectorate" cycle, which describes the world that emerged after the discovery of a crashed UFO in 1938 and the emergence of alien technology. These stories focus on the complex interplay of consciousness, technology, and the environment. This intellectual science fiction serves as a testing ground for philosophical experiments, exploring the boundaries of what it means to be a sentient, sentient being in a world where the very nature of consciousness is being challenged by advances in AI and neuroscience.
