The focus is on how individuals reason with the meaning of life. It's intriguing, mysterious, and thought provoking. Humor bubbles up here and there, but the search for meaning is paramount.

Pretentious, stereotyping and misogynistic. Strugatsky do approach important subjects, that are still relevant in 2023: state and community organization, short vs long term thinking, personal values vs ability to adapt. At the same time every decent thought comes coated in slime: lack of self-reflection, shallowness, stereotypes. Sad mainstream intellectualism.
Moderate: Sexism and Xenophobia
Minor: Domestic abuse, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Rape, Sexual assault, and Toxic relationship
