„Kannste dir nicht ausdenken“ is a library talk about the strange relationship between fiction and reality – why some stories refuse to stay in books, cinema or consoles and suddenly join in when we argue about love, identity, technology or reality. 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.
