In the organizer's words:
Reading
Enno Stahl reads from his new novel ... The future is already here and it suffers from the present ... What do you do when you come to yourself in the middle of a city, no longer know who you are and where you come from?
Twenty-year-old Marcos suddenly finds himself in this scenario - as if he had fallen from outer space: His memory seems to have been erased. He sets off on a restless search for his identity through the gigantic techno city of RheinRuhr, which in 2053 stretches from the former Dortmund to Cologne and Mönchengladbach ...
A novel about our social future: the right-wing populist parties rule Europe, everyone fights only for themselves. There is no continuous state administration. The EU is no more than a vassal of an overpowering China, squeezed between the USA and Russia, both of which are dominated by totalitarian rulers and are in warlike competition with each other.
All humans are implanted with a chip (the so-called Interior Console [IC]), through which they have constant access to the Allnet.
"A popular misconception expects the future to at least get rid of the present, for something better or worse. In 'Human Machines', Enno Stahl shows that the future can weigh on the present like an unresolved past - even tomorrow." (Dietmar Dath)
