«La grande panne» is the dystopian novel by Hadrien Klent, published by Le Tripode Editions in paperback (349 pages, in French).
An explosion in an Italian graphite mine releases a cloud that threatens to ignite on contact with the power grid; the French government decrees a general blackout and sets up a crisis centre on the island of Sein. The novel interweaves love, power, betrayals and surveillance, and shows a society that must reinvent itself while awaiting normality.
The action takes place in France. The work was rediscovered by readers and the press during the Covid-19 crisis, although it was not conceived as a prophetic work.
For readers of dystopias and social fiction interested in society's reaction to an emergency and in human relationships.
