Among the authors specializing in mystical and paranormal ideas, D. Brown, who devoted a number of best-selling books to the modern transhumanist movement and its individual ideologists, applying elements of game theory and author’s methods of interpreting historical events and facts. A special place in this series is occupied by the novel “Inferno”, which rather openly highlights specific names, definitions, concepts, as well as projects of transhumanism, but with D.
