So I remember staying up till 3am just to finish the last pages. I found the book fresh and original; and even though I was disappointed with the ending (it was too sad), I loved it. I probably learned about the DNA from that book more than from my biology classes :) In general, there were so many interesting (and maybe a bit random) facts about the world in the dialogs between the characters, that I even got curious enough to read up on some of those topics later on.
Anyway, so last week I got my hands on the movie that was made a few years ago based on this book. I was truly amazed with the quality of the Polish cinematography :) Here are some extracts from the movie:
It was very sensual and touching, but sad again :( The soundtrack was incredible too. So in case any of you were curious in seeing something from East Europe, I would highly recommend. Although, one disclaimer: the movie is quite slow and talks are prevalent to action, so if you have no tolerance for such things, then don't watch it.

I had never heard of this story until I was informed by a Russian woman who is translating a novel that I have written, "THE LAPTOP-A Novel Affair", which she says is quite like this one. She says that anyone who liked "Loneliness on the Net" should read and will probably like my story, too.
I have a facebook fans group that will give you more informtion & details, if interested: http://www.facebook.com/thelaptopenglishpage
Hi,
I need your help. I'm running everywhere, book stores, internets, every friend, etc but I cannot find this book, nor this movie in English version.
Can you please someone guide me or direct me to the book or movie in English version, please?
Really would appreciate your assistance in this case.
Thank you - Dinesh Nayak, India.
