  Abstract:  Considering Viktor Pelevin’s novel The Helmet of Horror in the light of Russian literary experimentalism, this article presents and analyzes a series of elements that could configure the weak identity of his literary characters. Highly influenced by the architecture of online communication, Pelevin’s narrative questions the possibilities of dialogue and self-awareness in a dehumanized technological space.

Keywords: Viktor Pelevin, The Helmet of Horror, dystopia, narrative identity, inter-subjectivity.
