One of the most impactful science fiction works from Russia. The translation has many errors--in parts the word "floor" is mysteriously replaced with "Boor", "finish" is always capitalized for some reason, quotes often lack the ending marks, and occasionally words are missing altogether. Nonetheless the translation is still very readable and generally well done.
Unexpectedly the characters can be so noir it hurts, but that may be a byproduct of the translation. A compelling read and fascinating world.
