One of the former junior researchers, to whom the Strugatsky brothers addressed their famous fairy tale, decided to respond to their book. This is not a continuation or a parody — it is "a techno-historical excursion into the development of processor technology in the USSR, in which a number of autobiographical plots are guessed," his scientific colleague commented on Lev Kirishchyan's book. "The Fairy Tale "Monday ends on Saturday, "perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the Research Institute in the Soviet Union," another colleague responded to this work. "The author examines with incredible insight the causes and consequences of the transition to a new type of economy, where the creation and processing of information is at the center," notes a third. These reviewers (their reviews are at the end of the book), like the author himself, are now masters in the world of information technology. But at heart they are still the same funny menes who read the fairy tale about NIICHAVO. They easily identified their former institutions at the Scientific Research Institute of Numerical Electronics, Robotics, Telemetry and Automation, abbreviated as NIICHERT. You will also identify yourself — everyone to whom this funny, sad and very informative fairy tale is dedicated.
