Time's Up. Contemporary Russian Dystopia: [stories]. — Moscow: Alpina Non-Fiction, 2022. — 280 pages. ISBN 978-5-00139-559-1 The short story collection "Time's Up" is an attempt to capture reality, create a snapshot of the present, and peer into the future. Thirteen well-known contemporary Russian writers — Andrey Rubanov, Sergey Shargunov, German Sadulaev, Eduard Verkin, Alexander Ilichevsky, Alexander Snegiryov, Alexander Pelevin, Aleksey Salnikov, Dmitry Zakharov, Kseniya Buksha, Vadim Panov, Alisa Ganieva, and Denis Dragunsky — turn to the dystopian genre and reflect on what awaits us. The thirteen stories written for this collection are thirteen separate worlds, alternative realities, each unlike the other: fantastic, conditional, realistic, grotesque. It is not only a contemporary literary process in miniature but also the surrounding world in all its diversity. And the future of this world, where something has gone wrong.
