Yeremey Parnov

Who was Yeremey Parnov?

Yeremey Iudovich Parnov was a Soviet and Jewish Russian writer and publicist. Parnov attended the Moscow Peat University and worked as a Chemical Engineer. He also used to work as a professional journalist. Parnov is an author of several popular scientific works such as Фантастика в век НТР or Зеркало Урании, apart from dozens of articles, sketches and essays.

Strikingly foreshadowing concerns of later decades, the 1964 Soviet novel World Soul by Yemtsev and Parnov dramatizes a supercomputer which uploads all human identities and downloads them in a global nightmare of scrambled individuality. In 1970 the co-authorship with Yemtsev has ceased. He died in 2009.
