Generation “P” Book by Viktor Pelevin (Farsi)

Description

Generation “P” by Viktor Pelevin is a post-Soviet satirical novel first published in 1999, exploring the chaotic transformation of Russia in the 1990s. The story follows Babylen Tatarsky, a young intellectual who, after the collapse of the Soviet system, drifts into the new world of advertising, consumerism, and media-driven culture. Pelevin blends social critique, surrealism, and myth, showing a society where ideology collapses and is replaced by branding, marketing, and manufactured realities. As Tatarsky navigates hallucinations, cult-like rituals, and media manipulation, the novel examines the collapse of old certainties, the rise of “hyperreality,” and the crisis of identity in a society where truth is replaced by images and consumption.
