Description
In a future shaped by perpetual Cold War tension, weapons designers create fantastical devices drawn from the collective unconscious—yet no one is certain whether these inventions are meant for war, deterrence, or something far stranger. Lars Powderdry, a celebrated but troubled designer, finds himself caught between political powers, hidden agendas, and unsettling questions about the reality he inhabits. Blending paranoia, dark humor, and inventive speculation, the novel examines the arms race, technological power, consumer culture, and the fragile boundaries between imagination and truth.
