What if magic isn't a gift from a select few, but simply physics? What if magic can be calculated, patented, and mass-produced, and corporations fight not for oil, but for the riches of human desire?
In the new podcast episode, we discuss Vitaly Chuyakov's book "Magic as a Statistical Error"—a dystopia where reality is governed by the laws of quantum economics, and ghosts are kept in servers like batteries.
🎙️ In this episode:
🔹 How does magic work? No chosen heroes. Only the theory of Quantum Resonance of Consciousness (QRC). Magic arose in 2047, when the Earth's population exceeded 10 billion sentient beings—humans, neural networks, and digital copies.
🔹 Who are the "ghosts"? Digitized personalities that live in servers. Their desires are the fuel for magic. And corporations have learned to make them suffer more effectively.
🔹 The Uberization of Everything. Magicians work as freelancers through apps, without benefits or guarantees. The Arcadia Corporation manages the dead as a resource, while the living pay taxes.
🔹 Faith versus Magic. It turns out that collective conviction is stronger than individual desire. "Avatars of Faith" create zones where technology and magic simply fail. Corporations are panicking.
🔹 War as Business. What the news calls "patriotic events" is, in reality, the redistribution of magical deposits. And when profits are threatened, corporations negotiate behind the backs of governments.
🔹 Information Chaos. How does the system fight the truth? Not with bans, but with memes. Dopamine loops, fakes, and placeholders exactly 23 minutes into the discussion—so you won't have time to finish the thought, but will remember the emotion.
📖 What is this book about?
This isn't just science fiction. It's a social satire where magic bracelets are compared to gun licenses, virtual worlds become "ghettos for the poor," and every fireball is paid for by someone—with suffering, time, or freedom.
We discussed what it means to be human in a world where even death doesn't free you from working for a corporation. Where feelings are a data object. And the truth is drowned in a sea of memes, so no one notices how this world really works.

I write texts, and NotebookLM turns them into dialogues. Because 20 years of web development have taught me one thing: you don't have to do everything yourself. The main thing is that the meaning remains mine.
