In the organizer's words:
Plot 1: A virtual reality enables a second life. But what happens when a virus deletes parts of this life and even entire identities forever? - Plot 2: The world is on the brink of collapse. Activists are trying to bring the perpetrators of the climate catastrophe to justice by any means necessary. Concern about the future is evident in both books. Aiki Mira and Theresa Hannig talk about visions of the future, post-apocalyptic hopepunk and climate fiction.
Aiki Mira studied media communication in London and Bremen and researched gaming. Today Aiki lives in Hamburg and in science fiction. Aiki's short stories have won several awards. "Titans Kinder" was on the fantasy best list for months, the novels "Neongrau" and "Neurobiests" won the Kurd Laßwitz Prize in 2023 and 2024. Aiki received the Chrysalis Award from the European Science Fiction Society.
Theresa Hannig, born in 1984, studied political science and worked as a software developer, project manager and lighting designer before turning to writing full-time. Since then, she has received numerous awards, including the Seraph for her novel "Pantopia". In 2023, she received the Tassilo Culture Prize from the Süddeutsche Zeitung. In her novels, short stories and the taz column "Über Morgen", she writes about future topics such as AI, data protection, climate change and the future of work. Hannig lives in Fürstenfeldbruck with her husband and two children.
