"The Superflare" is my first novel. The story is set in the near future and explores how humans might behave in extreme situations. An artificial superintelligence plays a central role in it - and not by chance. The question of what impact the triumph of AI could have on humanity's future has long been the subject of controversial debate. Since Chat GPT was launched, this discussion has reached the public consciousness - and gained even more urgency. About myself: I have studied German Literature, Political Sciences and History. Today I live and work in Berlin. I am married and have two children.
