I won't spoil what happens after that, but I will say that this book requires a massive suspension of disbelief. He decides to mimic the hell he's just escaped to rehabilitate others. With it he manages to escape, and after he does (with some help, which didn't really make much sense), what does he do? This book ties back to a couple of other series by the same author, as it revolves around noa, the lifeblood of the planet. Slowly, Artyom starts to figure things out. He's given tasks, and non compliance (or less than satisfactory compliance) results in pain. The modified eyes are the game system, but this is no game. He's given a number, his eyes are replaced, and his body had been perfected through DNA regeneration to last a hundred years or more. Shortly after that, he's kidnapped by a shadowy operation that's been in existence since at least WWII and probably longer. We don't get to see much about it, but he's been nominated for a Nobel Prize. Artyom is a physics professor at Moscow State who uncovers the secrets of levitation. So when I saw Idea was coming out, I lined up to read it. The last book by this author was The Cub, which I really enjoyed. Set in a space-simulator based world, the first book of the series in already finished while Vasily works on its sequel. Vasily's other passion is space exploration which is why he now works on a follow-up series entitled Galaktiona. The first book of the series has already been translated into English, with more translations to follow, aiming to make the Way of the Shaman series available to the English-language reader in its entirety. At the moment, the series boasts six novels with the seventh one in the works - this time the author expands on stories of Shaman's companions and those who helped and supported him in his trials and tribulations. He used his more than ten years' experience as an ERP implementation project manager to approach his writing in a well-organized manner, working to a strict schedule, a set of deadlines and even a budget.

His bestselling series combines fiction and video games, telling the story of Shaman and his friends stuck in the ruthless reality of Barliona. Vasily dipped into his college-days insider knowledge as a hardcore gamer in order to create a believable world of the virtual-reality MMO game. His Way of the Shaman series took Russian literature by storm in 2012. Vasily Mahanenko is a fantasy author working in the new genre of LitRPG - the MMO-based fantasy and sci fi.
