2049

2049 follows Robert Welkin in his journey beyond the walls of Ketra: the wealthiest and most advanced city on Earth that provides all of its 17 million citizens with the highest level of education, prosperity and an absolute peace of mind. After losing his home, his job, all of his money and friends Robert enters a brutal reality of traffic jams, mortgage loans and bad weather.

During his journey through the B Zone – where underneath the awe-inspiring shadows of the towers of Ketra the poor survive and ruthless thrive – Robert will try to get his life back on track without the help of the system… and he will do it in the worst way possible.

2049 is a novel in which the futuristic cities and the advanced technology serve as a backdrop to a story about society, money, hope and love. It's a witty, sometimes humorous, sometimes dark novel that takes the themes of anti-utopian society, gangsters, hackers, virtual celebrities and absurd reality shows and blends them into a fresh and explosive cocktail full of surprising events and memorable characters.

2049 is different, foreign - it mixes western themes with eastern sensitivity. It takes its readers deep under the skin of its protagonists and explores their inner conflicts without moralizing. 2049 was published in Poland in April 2015 to great reviews and now is available for the first time in English.
