The survivors are placed in an underground bunker where they will spend the next few years waiting for the radiation to dissipate and it is safe to go outside again. The book explores themes such as the importance of preserving knowledge and culture, the dangers of relying too heavily on technology, and the need for human connection and community in times of crisis. The main character is a young woman named Lena who is tasked with documenting the events that occur inside the bunker and is struggling to come to terms with her new reality. As she and the other survivors work together to create a new society, they must navigate the challenges of living in close quarters with limited resources, all while trying to stay alive in a world that seems determined to destroy them. Throughout the book, Lena grapples with the question of whether it's worth it to hold onto their old lives or if it's better to start anew. The book is written in a mix of Russian and English, reflecting the multicultural nature of the survivors and the global scope of the disaster that has occurred. It is a thought-provoking and gripping read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
