Radujme se – Erikson Steven (2020)

Suddenly, force fields appear on Earth, creating zones that people cannot access, while simultaneously preventing them from violence and the destruction of nature. Weapons, from atomic bombs to knives and fists, become useless, the global economy begins to collapse, and governments around the world lose their power. At the same time, something starts terraforming Mars and Venus to make them habitable. However, this is just the beginning, and the powerful of this world certainly do not want to 'give up' without a fight... Science fiction writer Samantha finds herself on an alien ship, and the artificial intelligence of an alliance of extraterrestrial supercivilizations informs her that she has been chosen as their spokesperson for contact with humanity, which they will no longer allow to continue destroying the Earth or itself. Their plan for the 'education' of humanity transitions into further, even more bizarre phases. A gripping science fiction novel about first contact from the author known primarily for the Malazan Empire sagas is not only full of tension and action but also raises philosophical questions about the meaning of humanity, its relationship with its own planet, and the state of contemporary civilization. Due to enthusiastic reader response, it became a bestseller and is also highly rated by critics as a new classic of the genre.
