Kateřina Kadlecová hosted the evening, and the program was divided into two parts. First, Sascha Reh and Jonáš Zbořil presented their novels „Biotopia“ and „Flora“, which are set in the near future and explore the relationships between ecology, technology, and power, as well as new forms of life on the border between city and nature. This was followed by talks by Fiona Sironic („Am Samstag gehen die Mädchen in den Wald und jagen Sachen in die Luft“) and Petr Šesták („Vyhoření“). Their rebellious texts raise questions about digitalization, the algorithms that govern our everyday lives, and the clashes between contemporary ideologies and cultural wars.
