Metro 2033
About This Novel
Twenty years after the end of the nuclear war, humanity is nearly extinct and the world is in ruins. Buildings collapsed, forests were burned to ashes, and the surface covered with radioactive dust was occupied by various mutant creatures. The last survivors huddled in Moscow subway stations and tunnels, establishing new groups, towns and civilizations. While struggling to survive, they also began endless struggles and killings. Humans have become beasts, and their last refuge has become a permanent prison. Young Artyom lives in the Exhibition Hall station in the northern metro. He can never forget his departed mother and is also keen on imagining what the pre-war world looked like. As the threat of the mysterious creature "Dark Tribe" intensifies, in order to save his homeland, Artyom accepts the important task of asking for help from other stations. He embarks on a journey across the entire subway network, and the ultimate fate of mankind gradually emerges from the darkness...

Metro - Comment on "Metro 2033"
After reading "Metro 2033", it feels like I have experienced a real journey of survival in the apocalypse. The mode of a road movie is refreshing when placed in a dark and cramped subway, and the different customs and customs of each station are even more vivid. Nuclear war has changed the environment, and the environment affects politics. Different politics have given rise to different appearances of the stations. The cross-section and depth of the world are condensed into one subway, as if everything should be like this. Why do people live? This human philosophy that has been passed down for thousands of years has been repeatedly scrutinized in the post-apocalyptic world. Every survivor has his own answer. Some of these ideas are absurd, some extreme, some sinking, and some resist. At a time when the future has lost its thread and darkness abounds in the subway, Artyom, as the spark of hope for mankind, has overcome obstacles and finally completed his mission. Unlike Tang Sanzang, this result is too ironic, making the meaning that Artyom is searching for ridiculous. The bridge of communication is broken, the last glimmer of light belonging to mankind is obscured by the darkness set off by the missile, and mankind once again pays for its own desires. In this context, Artyom, as a young man living in the VDNKh station, embarked on a journey through the subway system because of a hunter's request. The main line of the story is to save the crisis faced by the subway, that is, to eliminate the dark tribe, but what Artyom saw and heard and his experience while crossing the subway are also important parts of the story. , We see the absurd and realistic political situation in the subway, the tragic human life, and the financial system that uses bullets as currency through Artyom's perspective. The outstanding feature of the novel is not the plot, but the worldview based on the plot. Only when we deeply understand it can we discover how exquisite and shocking these settings are. Finally, let's conclude with the words Khan left to Artyom in the novel: "Those who have the courage and patience to stare into the darkness all their lives will be the first to see the faint light in it."
I haven't read the book, but the game is quite fun.
This book is about human beings hiding in the subway after the outbreak of nuclear war.
It feels like the plot moves forward too quickly later on
Same as subway escape

The cost of purchasing this book is a bit expensive😱. Russian novels, the post-nuclear world is worth looking forward to.
