Zubov Reading a Sci Fi Novel

My childhood friend in Ukraine who loved reading sci-fi as much as I did. We shared the same obsession with books, music, and absurdist humor, which inadvertently led us to developing a code language that only he and I could understand. He still lives in Ukraine and we stay in touch, exchanging occasional emails and links to news stories, and books. If an outsider were to read our correspondence, he might understand the words but not the coded meaning of our messages.
