Tolstoy. The book "Плоть и кровь" (Flesh and Blood) by Alexey K. Tolstoy tells the story of a future world where humanity has been divided into two factions: the "Fleshes" and the "Bloods". The Fleshes are a group of people who have undergone a process called "the Great Transition", which has allowed them to achieve immortality and virtual invulnerability to disease and injury. However, this process has also caused them to lose their emotions and empathy, making them cold and calculating beings. On the other hand, the Bloods are those who have not undergone the Great Transition and are still capable of experiencing emotions and empathy. The story follows the journey of a young man named Artyom, who is born into a family of Bloods but is forced to join the Fleshes against his will after his family is killed by a group of rogue Fleshes. As Artyom navigates this new world, he begins to question the morality of the Great Transition and the actions of the Fleshes, leading him to form an unlikely alliance with a group of rebels who seek to overthrow the ruling council of Fleshes. Along the way, he discovers hidden secrets about the Great Transition and the true intentions of the Fleshes, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of his new reality. The book explores themes of technology evolution, humanity's relationship with technology, and the need for a personal paradigm in understanding the technological process of developing modern knowledge.
