If the short stories were Dmitry Glukhovsky’s news from Russia, they would not stand out among all the madness that is currently being spread from there via Telegram or even directly from the Kremlin. For example, the very first story “Everything has its price” about construction workers from Tajikistan: In Moscow, they seem to build endlessly growing, never-ending office towers, where accidents at work keep happening. Because one of the Russian businessmen who roar through “Moscow City” in BMW 7s with secret service or state service license plates has recognized that these workers are most lucrative if you don’t let them work, but sell them.
