Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 6

In the “Atrium”—as the generals lovingly called the main control room with a screen the size of a football field—it smelled of expensive Arabica, furniture polish, and the cheap deodorant of the night shift. Duty Colonel General Ivashov (call sign “Concrete,” earned for his impenetrable facial expression) sat in a leather chair, melancholically chewing a cabbage pirozhok bought at the General Staff buffet

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 5

The Assembly Hall smelled of expensive jasmine tea, lacquered wood, and a quiet, polite, yet deadly panic. A colossal digital map of the world spanned one entire wall. On it, China was vast, bright red, and pulsating; Taiwan was also red (though with light cross-hatching indicating “pending return”); and Russia was shaded in a pleasant beige color, referred to in secret party documents as “Zone of Prospective Resource Development” and colloquially as “Our Northern Warehouse”

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 4

The secure comms room resembled a spaceship built from Soviet tank parts. The walls were padded with soundproofing panels the color of “bureaucratic depression,” and the air conditioner hummed with the strain of a dying elephant. On the desk sat a glass of tea with a lonely lemon floating in it like a sunken island. Amirkhan Mousavi was screaming into the receiver of a red phone so loudly that the bulletproof glass separating him from the operators fogged up

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 3

Amirkhan Mousavi, Deputy Chief of Internal Security for Strategic Objects, sat in a chair that creaked with his every breath, hating Zoomers. More precisely, he hated the chasm of misunderstanding that lay between his generation, raised on war and prayers, and this generation, raised on VPNs and memes. Amirkhan examined the printout. It was a photo of a kitten. Ginger, fluffy, with saucer-eyes. The kitten was sitting on a rug. The rug was white and blue

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 2

Asadollah Alavi, now known as “Comrade Lee,” advisor on strategic affairs, stood by the panoramic armored glass holding a cup of soju. He was seventy-two years old. He had survived the Revolution, the war with Iraq, thirty years of espionage, the American strike on Fordow, and an escape through China in a freight car loaded with garlic. He craved peace. Instead, he got North Korea. Beyond the glass stood the pride of the nation—two “Hwasong-21-Super-Turbo” missiles

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 1

The snow in Cambridge fell so quietly it seemed you could hear the ice crystals grazing the black waters of the Charles River. It wasn’t the snow I remembered from childhood—not the prickly, vicious snow of the Zagros Mountains that sliced your face like the sand of the Dasht-e Kavir desert. This snow was soft, sterile, almost weightless, like a Democrat’s campaign promise. It swaddled the MIT campus in a white blanket of oblivion, erasing the corners of brutalist architecture

Когда Апокалипсис берет выходной

Завершающая повесть тетралогии, «Операция «Бродячий пёс», делает неожиданный пируэт: автор берёт своих героев — измученную физика Захру, её мужа-чекиста Амирхана, их дочерей и зловещего генерала Алави — и швыряет своих героев из декораций античной трагедии в декорации фарса а-ля «Доктор Стрейнджлав» или «Смерть Сталина», превращая монументальную драму в гомерически смешную и пугающе правдоподобную сатиру

“The Iranian Diary”: Anatomy of Paranoia in Three Acts

In contemporary literature, Iran usually appears in one of two guises: either as a caricatured “Axis of Evil” populated by mad ayatollahs, or as an exotic backdrop for tear-jerking tales of oppression. In his Iranian Diary cycle, the author chooses a third, far more complex path. He portrays Iran as a vast laboratory where experiments are conducted not only on the atom, but on the human soul. And he does so with great love: for the country, the religion, and the characters

Как гонка в сфере ИИ расколола мировой технологический порядок

2025-й стал годом, когда соперничество США и Китая превратило в оружие каждый слой технологического стека — от добычи ископаемых и ИИ-моделей до военных доктрин. Великое расхождение началось с одной цифры: 256 000 долларов. DeepSeek, китайский стартап, которому едва исполнился год, заявил, что потратил эту относительно скромную сумму на обучение модели ИИ, сравнявшейся по возможностям с OpenAI

Экстремисты используют клонирование голоса с помощью ИИ для усиления пропаганды

В то время как бум искусственного интеллекта переворачивает с ног на голову целые сектора музыкальной индустрии, боты-генераторы голоса становятся находкой и для другой, весьма неожиданной части интернета: экстремистских движений. Они используют эти технологии для воссоздания голосов и речей ключевых фигур своего круга — это способствует росту их численности
