Peter Grandl, author of the award-winning sensational thriller "Turmschatten", always writes with his finger on the pulse of the times. This also applies to his new work "Reset - Die Wahrheit stirbt zuerst". Here, Grandl once again creates a fictional but frighteningly topical scenario:
In a present in which AI-generated content circulates on the internet, the truth can no longer be distinguished from lies. Fake news floods the news portals, photos and videos turn out to be fakes and computer voices on the phone pretend to be real people. Driven by fear and insecurity, people are committing horrific crimes. In the midst of this, Superintendent Valentine O'Brien investigates for the British secret service in German airspace, just as the digital networks collapse and chaos breaks out around him.
Peter Grandl will also be reading his short crime novel, which he wrote for the current "Mord am Hellweg" anthology and is set in Overhagen Castle, for the first time that evening.
An event in the "Möpkentod - Westfalen kriminell" series, with the kind support of the Stiftung Westfalen-Initiative and the Sparkassenverband Westfalen-Lippe.
