Приквел: повести

Avtory sobiralisʹ napisatʹ obychnui͡u podrostkovui͡u povestʹ. No chto-to poshlo ne tak. Vo-pervykh, povesteĭ poluchilosʹ chetyre. Khoti͡a istorii͡a odna. Vo-vtorykh, u kazhdoĭ chasti svoĭ zhanr: shkolʹnyĭ khorror, fėntezi, "tverdai͡a" fantastika i antiutopii͡a. Navernoe, v summe ėtot zhanr mozhno nazvatʹ slovom "probudizm". Ili "pro buddizm" - kak vam udobnee. V-tretʹikh, chutʹ li ne kazhdyĭ chitatelʹ v finale vidit svoe obʺi͡asnenie opisannym sobytii͡am i svoi͡u glavnui͡u idei͡u. Khoti͡a avtory dumali, chto vse sovershenno odnoznachno. I tolʹko odno predskazanie sbylosʹ - kak obychno, kniga Zhvalevskogo i Pasternak chitaetsi͡a zapoem. Li͡udʹmi li͡ubogo vozrasta.

The authors were going to write an ordinary teenage novel. But something went wrong. Firstly, there were four stories. Although the story is the same. Secondly, each part has its own genre: school horror, fantasy, "hard" fiction and dystopia. Probably, in total, this genre can be called the word "awakening". Or "about Buddhism" — as you prefer. Thirdly, almost every reader in the finale sees his own explanation of the events described and his main idea. Although the authors thought that everything was completely unambiguous. And only one prediction came true — as usual, the book of Zhvalevsky and Pasternak is read with a binge. People of any age.
