This short story allows us to consider the thoughts that are in conflict for the young lady. How will she respond and what will she decide? A classic story narrated by Glenn Hascall.

Questa storia si sviluppa come una parodia del genere post-cyberpunk, aggiornato ai nostri tempi tra social network e gamification e in uno stile che ricorda la serie distopica "Black Mirror".

I mondi di K.A. Teryna – autrice di spicco della fantascienza russa contemporanea – sono difficili da dimenticare: in "Medusa" siamo in una parodia del cyberpunk, potenziato da social network e gamification, in stile Black Mirror; "Krözelcikus" è un giallo che parte dal furto dell'elioforo, una macchina fotografica ritenuta illegale; "Hunky-dory" spazia dalle nanotecnologie agli studi di Vernadskij sulla noosfera, anche se alla base del racconto c'è il sacrificio e l'illuminazione.
