The article is devoted to examining the existential aspect in the works of Viktor Pelevin. An attempt is made to determine the distinctive features of Pelevin's existential philosophy compared to the generally accepted concept of classical existentialism. Special attention is given to the writer's later novels, where the existential dimension manifests itself through reflections on being, loneliness, the search for the meaning of life, and the confrontation of an individual with the absurdity of the surrounding world: «iPhuck 10», «Secret Views of Mount Fuji», «Invincible Sun», «Transhumanism Inc.», «KGBT+», «Journey to Eleusis», «Cool».
