The paper aims at analyzing Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel Future in the context of spending leisure time. The writer presents a society, which has overcome death. It gives rise to the question if “leisure time” still exists in such a situation; and if it does, what importance and functions it has in comparison with the life before “the era of everlasting life”. Glukhovsky indicates that overcoming death in an unnatural way freezes civilization in time, which leads to the dwindling of human creativity and, which is confirmed by the way human beings spend their free time in the novel, degeneration. Instead of making progress humankind focuses on maintain the status quo, In light of the abovementioned the only solution is restoring death perceived as the reconstruction of the natural order of things.
