Beetle in an anthill (World of Noon)

Zusatztext

"The Beetle in the Anthill" is the famous and, according to many lovers, the best book of the Strugatskys. The second part of the trilogy about Progressor Maxim Kammerer.
After Sarraksh, Max is already working on Earth in KOMKON-2, a powerful organization whose functions can be defined as intercivilizational counterintelligence. And here is the real contrast. On the one hand, the earthly civilization of the future, where society is built on the basis of the communist principles of freedom and equality; where humanity has settled almost throughout the galaxy, has already entered into several contacts with an alien mind and is even trying to help other undeveloped civilizations behind the scenes, gradually accelerating their development. On the other hand, KOMKON-2 itself resembles some kind of collective progressor. But for humanity itself. What path are they pushing people towards? And most importantly, who is pushing?
