Along with literary activities, he is actively working in the field of cybernetics. As a top-class programmer, Nesterenko is involved in developing and writing scripts for fairly popular computer games.

Literary work
Yuri Nesterenko writes most of his prose in the genre of science fiction. While living in Russia, he published his work in such publishers as Science and Life, Eksmo and Avanta +. Small stories that came out of Nesterenko’s pen were published in such magazines as Reality of Science Fiction, Chemistry and Life, The Threshold, World of Science Fiction, and Technology for Youth.
The following science fiction novels can be attributed to his most famous works:
- "Rillen Lee's mistake."
- Black Marsh.
- "Wings".
- "Hunt for the island."
- "The time of the sword."
- "Ivy on the ruins."
Yuri Nesterenko also wrote a number of stories that stood out with a peculiar and specific "computer humor." Success had such stories as:
- "WinWars 2002".
- “If programmers built houses.”
- "A song about programmer youth."
- "The Genesis Project."
Despite the readers' interest in these works and fairly positive reviews about these stories, Yuri Nesterenko is annoyed when he is called a humorous writer. In his interviews, he said many times that he writes such works solely for material gain, since they are more willing to publish and read.
The author receives much more pleasure from the publication of his more serious works, in which he sets out his philosophy and understanding of the world. Various magazines published the following journalistic articles by Yuri:
- "Political Immunodeficiency Syndrome."
- "Intelligence".
- "On the Russian national idea."
- "The End of the Stone Age."
- The Myth of Human Rights.
Cybernetics is an important component of the life of a writer
Yuri Nesterenko, in addition to his literary achievements, is a talented programmer. He was a member of the leading authors of popular multimedia publications dedicated to computer games:
- "GEM".
- "Playhard.ru".
- "SBG Magazine".
In addition, Yuri Nesterenko took an active part in developing scenarios for popular computer games, including “Space Rangers”, “Ivan Lozhkin: the price of freedom”, “FIDO”.
Philosophical views of Nesterenko
Nesterenko annoys many readers with his work, and there is a logical explanation for this. Not everyone is ready to accept his point of view, since he is an ardent opponent of any sexual relationship. He is also a supporter of the death penalty, believes that women have the right to have abortions, and defends the right of terminally ill people to euthanasia.
In his interviews, Nesterenko positions himself as an ardent hater of everything that can be attributed to “herd collectivity”. He criticizes communism and opposes any religious orthodoxy (this applies both to Islamism and to Orthodoxy).
Yuri Nesterenko also became famous for his frequent criticism of the Russian state. He considers Russian society to be “deeply pathological,” and he defines the number of “decent” people living in Russia as no more than 5% of the total mass. Yuri often criticizes the policies of Putin and the United Russia party. He criticizes the Russian position regarding the conflict in Ukraine and believes that the blame for the Russian-Georgian conflict lies entirely with Russia. Since he considered the general atmosphere of this state unfavorable, he decided for himself to change his place of residence. In 2009, Yuri applied for political asylum in the United States and, having received the consent of the Americans, changed his permanent place of residence.
Many opponents who disagree with his views argue that Nesterenko’s articles and publications were paid for by opposition forces. Yuri himself claims that his life in the United States is quite modest, and the main source of his income is the publication of works of art.
On his official website, this person openly writes that he is ready to cooperate with any anti-Putin forces (with the exception of the Communists). Moreover, he basically does not join any political parties, nor is he a member of any organizations.
The author himself, among his most powerful novels, revealing his worldview and philosophy, distinguishes Hubert Alles, Sentence, and one of his latest works, Combine.
