Прочла классику детективного жанра, "Коллекционер" Фаулза. Если честно, то я прекрасно понимаю, в чем было новаторство данной книги, но пробрала меня только концовка. Интересен авторский слог - книга по сути представляет собой дневник маньяка и похищенной им девушки - художницы Миранды. Очень много интересных размышлений об искусстве, отсылкам к "Буре" Шекспира и так далее. Личная оценка - 7,5 из 10, но не было ощущения поглощением книги и в некоторых моментах скучновато. Например, тот же "Парфюмер" Зюскинда зашёл намного больше.

At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram?
