The real world around you or the virtual one? And those who call themselves gods, are they really gods or admins of an advanced game? These are certainly interesting questions. But for those inside, it doesn’t matter, they just learn to live here...

“The main character, by chance finding himself in space, finds true friends, acquires a spaceship, powerful weapons, alien superpowers, and begins to successfully intervene in galactic politics...” You will not find anything like that in this book. That is, the heroine was lucky with her friends, but with everything else, alas. The ship was taken away, she was not given superpowers, and she will only be allowed into Big Politics in the form of a bargaining pawn. Contrary to the opinion of the people themselves, no one is waiting for earthlings there. But not everything is so sad when you have a choice - sadly live as guest workers somewhere beyond the Little Dipper, or, playing cat and mouse with death, return home. Not all is lost when the inexplicable kinship of souls makes you forget that they are “different animals.” And then, perhaps, the main question arises: who more deserves the right to be called a Man?
