This is an automatically translated description

Maryna Hrymych in her new novel Coal Miner 2099 looks into our future. At least that's what she thinks. But no one knows what it really is. After all, well-known realities, characters and habits emerge from the funny predictive plot.

The novel is set not in Kyiv or even Lviv, but in two unremarkable loci, from the point of view of a modern man in the street. The first is Vuhledar. Today, it is a small, clean and nice mining town in the Donetsk region, and in the future it will become a university and technological centre of global importance and a state-of-the-art urban agglomeration. The second location is Udai Sands: today it is a modest village in the Poltava region, but in the future it will have to save, albeit in a very original way, the reputation of Ukraine.
