The book "Совершенно секретно" (Top Secret) by Vladimir Voinovich, published in 1976, tells the story of a group of Soviet scientists who, during the Cold War, were working on a top-secret project to create a new weapon - a thought-controlled robot. The main character, a young engineer named Ivan, becomes involved in this project and soon realizes that the robot's development has the potential to change the course of history. As he delves deeper into the project, he discovers that the robot's true purpose is not only to destroy enemy targets but also to control people's minds and thoughts. The plot of the book revolves around Ivan's struggle to understand the true intentions of the government and the military-industrial complex behind the project, as well as his own personal beliefs and values. He is torn between his loyalty to his colleagues and his desire to expose the truth about the robot's sinister purposes. Along the way, he must navigate through a web of lies, deception, and betrayal, all while trying to maintain his own humanity in the face of technological advancements that threaten to consume him.
