For many, the love of fiction began with them. And it is especially interesting in this book to read what the future looks like through the eyes of a boy from 1976 — Kolya, who got into the future on a randomly discovered time machine. Let's take a walk through the future of Alice Selezneva.

So, after Kolya realized that he was in the future, he went for a walk in Moscow in 2082. Let's skip the conversation with Grandfather Pavel, it's difficult to learn anything about the future from it.
Let's pay attention only to its end. Here is a quote from the text:
—Let's read the newspaper," the old man said.
The balloon soared into the air and went to look for other readers.
Kolya glanced sideways at the old man, who pressed some button on the side of the cigarette case, the cigarette case turned into a multi-colored screen, and various frames ran across it. It was inconvenient for Kolya to look from the side, he only heard a melodious female voice say:
"... The festival on the Moon promises to be the most interesting spectacle of this year... The discussion at the UN has begun...""
Well, it looks like we see a description of the tablet, only by 2082 they will be free and possibly disposable.
Then Grandfather Pavel found another gadget, already familiar in our time, — an analogue of a smart watch:
After escaping from the old man, Kolya got to the station to the young biologists, where he tasted mango and bagels from a tree that grew at the speed of Aldebaran plants. It seems that in 2082, genetically modified plants do not frighten anyone.
From biologists, Kolya got to the construction site of the future and watched the construction (and even participated in it a little) of a new house. A wonderful technology of rapid construction, when a reinforced frame is first erected, and then walls are grown from coral bacteria along the reinforcement. The disadvantage is architecture. Too many buildings of bizarre shape will appear using this technology, because the artist (architect) "sees it that way".
Let's move on to the transport system of Moscow of the future. Public transport is represented by wonderful teleport buses, i.e. buses do not go anywhere themselves. These are stationary stations installed in different parts of the city (and possibly the world), between which there is an instantaneous movement of the passenger (a kind of zero-transition). Very convenient, and most importantly, fast mode of transport. But not without drawbacks: buses are tied to certain points — stations, stops in our understanding. Then you should get to the place either on foot or…
On the flips! That's every boy's dream. Fly over the city in a personal bubble. Well, at least in the book they were described as bubbles.
But in the film they became more like the cabins of small helicopters with an anti-gravity engine.
There is a possibility of manual control, there is an autopilot connected to the satellite navigation system. And no traffic jams. A dream!
What else is Moscow of the future remembered for? A system of extremely convenient fast food. Let's turn to the original source:
Very convenient.
What else. Well, for example, weather management.
— Do you predict the weather?
— It used to predict the weather. And now we're doing it."
Of course, the Cosmodrome, the CosmoZo, the Institute of Time (with a time machine, of course) and the mysterious device — the myelophone, around which the whole story revolved.
However, you know her as well as I do.
