What happens after power ends —not with violence, but with paperwork? How to Be Nothing is a darkly comic procedural nightmare about disappearance in the modern age —where people are not destroyed, imprisoned, or silenced, but quietly reclassified. The Majestic Man was once dangerous. Charismatic. Excessive. A creature of appetite, confidence, and domination who believed freedom meant crossing lines and surviving the consequences. He lived loudly, burned bridges beautifully, and mistook impact for meaning. Now he is old. And worse —he is allowed to exist.

A restrained family novel concerned with pride, class, and the slow unravelling of authority within a once-ordered household. As a marriage falters and relationships subtly realign, ordinary decisions begin to carry unintended consequences. Written with psychological precision, it observes how silence, misjudgment, and the refusal to look closely can quietly reshape a life.

Set against the collapse and aftermath of post-Soviet life, the book follows a boy taken from a forgotten Siberian village and carried—politely, efficiently—into a world that will rename him, repurpose him, and decide his value without ever raising its voice. There are no heroes here, no redemption arcs, no lessons offered at a safe distance. What unfolds instead is a careful study of how people survive when survival itself becomes useful to others. Violence appears rarely, and never as release. Care arrives disguised as containment. Stability is presented as generosity.
