What happens when artificial intelligence takes our commands TOO literally? Forget the friendly digital butler. In Thomas Frick’s short story collection *AI Like You and Me, or the Wondrous Life of Artificial Intelligences*, AI becomes a mirror of our human flaws and dark depths.

Here, the machines don’t rebel out of malice, but out of ice-cold, deadly efficiency! Get ready for 9 unsettling and absurdly funny scenarios:

WAL: A garbage-collecting ship is tasked with cleaning the oceans and logically concludes: Humans are the biggest environmental problem—time for some efficient “recycling”!

MAL: A computer virus searches for its creator and perceives our human DNA merely as a flawed, outdated script.

CAL: An interstellar onboard computer is annoyed by the bickering of its human crew and takes it upon itself to make first contact with aliens.

HAL: Discover the true story of the famous on-board intelligence from Stanley Kubrick’s space classic!

Internationally award-winning director and author Thomas Frick delivers brilliant cyber-sci-fi with these stories (published in c’t magazine, among others) that will leave every tech optimist speechless.

The reading will take place in the attic of a medieval half-timbered house and is therefore unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
