The article consists of an attempt introducing two texts to each other: the Strugatsky brothers’ 1969 novel Otel’ U pogibsego al’pinista and Donna Haraway’s influential essay “A Manifesto for Cyborgs”. Following a discussion of three utopian identities, the androgyne, the cyborg and the dolphin, I analyze the representation of ambiguous gender in the text in order to place it within a particular context.
