Book Talk with Bijan Moini and Jung-Kuei Wei about "The Cube"

Book presentation
GermanChinese

It’s the near future. Germany is controlled by a perfect algorithm. The “cube” helps people to live carefree lives, pays everyone a basic income and nips crime in the bud. To do this, it collects data on everything, down to people’s most intimate secrets. All for the sake of utmost predictability. But there’s also resistance. One of the few rebels against the system is 28-year-old Taso. Somehow he manages to evade this all-encompassing observation, living his life lonely, but content. That is, until he meets Dalia, who wants nothing more than a life in the beautiful world of the cube – and he falls in love with her.

Programme

The author will read two short passages from his book and talks with Prof. Jung-Kuei Wei about the themes addressed in the novel: artificial intelligence and the future of humanity, individualism versus conformism, what’s dystopian or utopian in this future vision of the cube.
