Consecuencias sobre las personas que les tocó vivir una nueva realidad que todavía existe pero que aún no se ha comprendido. Aquellos que sufrieron Chernóbil son los supervivientes de una Tercera Guerra Mundial nuclear. Según Alexievich, en este mundo hostil ?todo parece completamente normal, el mal se esconde bajo una nueva máscara, y uno no es capaz de verlo, oírlo, tocarlo, ni olerlo. Cualquier cosa puede matarte... el agua, la tierra, una manzana, la lluvia. Nuestro diccionario está obsoleto. Todavía no existen palabras, ni sentimientos, para describir esto?.

Voces de Chernóbil recibió en marzo de 2006 el premio del Círculo de Críticos de Estados Unidos en reconocimiento a la fuerza narrativa de Alexievich y a la importancia de las historias que cuenta. Esta edición en castellano incluye además testimonios inéditos hasta la fecha, incorporados por la autora a la que es la última versión de la obra elaborada por ella con motivo del XX aniversario de la catástrofe
