Leonid Kaganov is perhaps the most overrated author in Russian science fiction. Two dozen literary awards, a dozen publications, and translations into foreign languages don't really mean anything. And his high online popularity doesn't justify his rare and modest print runs. Kaganov's problem is that he tends to subvert the established rules of genre, universe, psychology, physics, and morality from unexpected angles. This isn't always a relaxing read, despite the generous doses of genuine humor. And his characters aren't particularly pleasant people or particularly successful robots, enough to make you want to emulate them, rather than simply follow their captivating stories. Despite this, Kaganov is rightly considered a master of the short story. Therefore, given the choice between two books—the collection of short stories you're holding in your hands or the new novel, "The Path to Shell," which won't be published until 2028—this one is definitely the better choice. At least it's already in front of you, and there are still a few copies left in the warehouse.
