Autosaved: Tales from a Lost Galaxy - Book 2: A Childhood Too Loud for History and Too Quiet for Adults (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798275212242)

What do you get when you mix one Balkan childhood, a neighborhood full of semi-feral kids, socialist-era engineering disasters, UFO surveillance duty, exploding PVC pipes, failed lotteries, and a grandmother who could outshout God?
You get GLOBAL BREAKOUT HIT - Book 2.

This is not a history book.
This is a backup of a lost universe - the wild, ridiculous, warm-hearted world of 80s-90s Bulgaria, where children roamed like unsupervised laboratory experiments and somehow survived long enough to tell the story.

Follow young Neo/Dobino/Dobi/Dobri (the boy with one name for every disaster) through:

- The Great Hose Wars
- Socialist boot-camp "Brigades"
- Neighborhood séances for profit
- Ice-cream diplomacy at "Magura"
- Clay-ball warfare and Mercedes revenge
- Meteorology powered by wrist-shaking magic
- Childhood entrepreneurship, stupidity, and near-genius
- Grandmas who could stop wars, men, and wild animals with one shout

And cutting through all the chaos, one quiet lesson from a grandfather who survived the real war:

"As long as there's no war - everything else can be survived."

It's funny.
It's fast.
It's heartfelt.
It's a love letter to a childhood that shouldn't have worked... but somehow did.

If you grew up anywhere between communism and capitalism, between danger and imagination - or if you just enjoy stories where children accidentally invent new safety hazards - this book is for you.

Book 2 ends with a quiet door open toward Book 1 and Book 3.

Welcome to the chaos.
Welcome to the peace.
Welcome to the GLOBAL BREAKOUT HIT universe.
