Works
Hejno bez ptáků (Flock Without Birds) is a novel about Western civilization and its blind spot. And also about the birth of another mindset that fundamentally changes who we can be. The novel was published in two volumes (The Book and the Story), leaving it to the reader, who opens first. [21]

Adam, a PhD student in statistics at Cambridge, examines the continuity of accidental disasters around the world. But instead of a cosmic order, he begins to find something unexpected: his own portraits, hundreds of years old. As the boundaries between science, life, and myth disappear, other sinister warnings reinforce concerns about reason and his girlfriend Nina. The love story of a moderate punk girl and a weary mathematician blends with the history of the Western way of learning about the world. The storyline leads readers from Cambridge through Prague to Japan and the Himalayas, only to return to the twists and turns of his own mind. There he encounters a strange blind spot, which prevents him from seeing the world from a different perspective than the one we were brought up to.

Evaluation
For his graphic design, the novel Hejno bez ptáků (Flock without Birds) won the Most Beautiful Book of 2012 award, which is awarded by the Monument of National Literature.
