A faux leather hardback (15.5x11cm) titled “Ushanka’s despair”. With the exception of the title page the entire contents of the book is in binary.
A translation has been possible for the first 17 pages. When translated it appears to be a direct series of messages to the reader begging for help and lamenting their own fate. It appears the main objective is to get the reader to “fix” their coding.
The other 99 pages may simply be nonsense. The assistant tasked with decoding it never succeeded. They started spending days at their pc without food or sleep writing nonsense code. They were seen conversing with their monitor shortly before attempting to “install” themselves in to their pc. They have been isolated from all electronics and the book has been returned to its case.
Something to note is that the book appears to have been rebound at some point. Inspecting the interior cover reveals the name Sergey written in pen where the end paper is torn. A last name is not visible.
