The narrative explores the profound impact of deindustrialization on the community of Hoyerswerda, a city shaped by its past as a socialist model for the coal industry. Following significant population decline post-German reunification, residents grapple with the loss of their future and the deconstruction of their environment. The book employs a novel anthropological perspective on time, enabling a deeper understanding of the postindustrial experience and the implications of lost futures for its inhabitants.
