Uproarious humor coupled with blunt naturalism; sometimes this book is not for the faint of heart, but it often raises an eyebrow and prompts laughter. First published in 2000, it still pokes Western society acutely and relevantly.
Social anxiety, objectifying people, crappy economics, overall decadence—many of these issues haven't gone since naughties, but very few authors dare to write about them so boisterously.

Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. Groups are also not fully encrypted, end-to-end. This includes private groups. Private groups cannot be seen by other Telegram users, but Telegram itself can see the groups and all of the communications that you have in them. All of the same risks and warnings about channels can be applied to groups.

In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation."
