Angeltown, Neropolis, Byzantium, Istandium, Genial, Moscow – cities of the mind and imagination, cities with material substance and capitals in the spectral realms of simulation. In the world of the late twenty-first century, Europe, now weakened, is confined to the role of a vast theme park. There, people, with the help of artificial intelligence, live as subject-exhibits in faithful revivals of historical periods, refusing their contemporary reality. At the same time, technological advancements, behind which lies the magnate Devendra Puri, have allowed even the last individual stronghold, consciousness, to be transformed into a tradable commodity, a set of data that can be loaded from body to body. In this environment, the executive Niko Mavridis, the security officer Vika Cortez, and the spiritualist-guru Ignati Vasilievich Rostov struggle to survive and maintain their human nature, constantly changing cities, eras, bodies, and identities. They are the Impossible Cities of an ultimate form of existence, where anything can happen and nothing is excluded. A hell that resembles an inverted paradise, at the depth of a shattered mirror.
