Victor Pelevin: Coolness

It is the third century of the Green Era. Open Brain implant correction has turned women into the dominant gender, and the balance of power in the criminal hierarchy has shifted. At its apex stands the fem-thug underworld—ruthless "shiv-chickens." No biological man can stand against them, but there is a nuance.
Markus Zorgenfrei is the best jar-operative at TRANSHUMANISM INC. The missions assigned to him by Admiral-Bishop Lomas are so sensitive that his memory is erased afterward. He would never have gotten involved in prison squabbles if not for the terrible danger hanging over the planet.
How are the hell destroyed by the Light and the Mesozoic era connected? What is the magic of the higher spirits? Why has an ancient evil found a new incarnation in a Siberian wind colony? What does the grave of Paris, the demon of Achilles, and the secret of the sinister Varvara Tsugunder—whom the shiv-chickens have considered their mentor for hundreds of years—have to do with it?
The high-stakes thriller-detective novel "Krut" will provide answers to many agonizing questions that no one has yet dared to ask.
