В стране слепых

Michael Flynn, one of America's leading contemporary science fiction writers, began publishing in the mid-1980s in Analog magazine. His first novel, In the Land of the Blind, a hard science fiction techno-thriller with elements of alternative history, was published in the US in 1990, instantly noticed by critics and immediately brought the author wide popularity. Now Michael Flynn has five books to his credit. The ability to control the future ... Science fiction writers rave about it. Scientists dream about it. An excellent topic for a new book by an experienced journalist Sarah Beaumont, who dreams of a Pulitzer Prize! But people who give Sarah information die under mysterious circumstances. Someone tries to kill her again and again, or simply intimidate and force her to stop. Why? Perhaps because she realized that someone had actually been controlling world history for two hundred years? This edition presents the second version of the novel, supplemented and "enhanced" by the author, plus Flynn's commentary article on the scientific basis of history management.
