Чому я не втомлююся жити

A collection of novellas and stories. In the title novella, set in a distant future, people have their brains transplanted into new bodies, grown for the purpose and called "corps", whenever the old ones wear out; the narrator buries his own former body, meets a mother now half his apparent age, and after almost a thousand years has lost his children in time and space. In "The End of the World" a scientist finds a way to stop the metabolism of the whole planet, to meet God. In "At Home with God" a man visits his friend, a stoker, and slowly realises he is talking to God. Others turn on a desperate young artist and a girl who says her father is the president.
