The edition „GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE“ asks how science fiction turned thinking machines into friends, servants, love objects and reliable destroyers of humanity, and what those old stories mean now that programs write texts, generate images and make decisions. The guest is Dr. Isabella Hermann, a futures expert, science fiction analyst and political scientist researching how technological progress and social innovation can be thought together. The talk is moderated by Jasper Nicolaisen, an author living in Berlin.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/berlin/events/kannste-dir-nicht-ausdenken-bibliothekstalk-podcast-in-der-b-136097/", "official_url": "https://www.berlin.de/land/kalender/index.php?detail=293254&ls=0&c=145&date_start=07.11.2026", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-21T16:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE", "address": "", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-12-19T16:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE", "address": "", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Science for Fiction: Emma Braslavski liest „Ich bin dein Mensch“", "start": "2026-11-10T19:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Bruno-Loesche-Bibliothek", "address": "Perleberger Straße 33, 10559 Berlin", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["literature/fiction/science-fiction", "science/ai"], "description": "As the fourth event in the series \"Science for Fiction\", Emma Braslavsky reads from \"Ich bin dein Mensch\".
