About this book

Informationsexplosion, Überbevölkerung, Umweltverschmutzung, Kybernetik, Genetik, die Kontrolle und Versklavung des Menschen durch die Technologie, Warnung von Konformismus und Manipulation des Menschen, die Erforschung fremder Planeten und die erstmalige Begegnung mit außerirdischen Lebewesen sind einige Themen dieser von kritischem Geist durchdrungenen Erzählungen. Es sind Beispiele von Extrapolationen möglicher Entwicklungen, auf technischem wie sozialem Gebiet. Das Zukunftsbild geht unmerklich in die Anti-Utopie über. Es zeigt nicht bloß mögliche Anwendungen der Naturwissenschaft, sondern warnt auch vor deren Mißbrauch: nicht bloß Perspektiven werden eröffnet, sondern auch Abgründe, zur futuristischen Aussicht gesellt sich die kritische Einsicht. An wissenschaftlicher Phantastik und spannendem Aufbau lässt keine der Erzählungen etwas zu wünschen übrig. An jedem einzelnen Leser hat sich zu erweisen, ob er der Erbschaft Einsteins würdig ist.

14. Mai 1927 – 16. Juli 2022

Österreichischer Physiker, Sachbuchautor und Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller, außerdem aktiv in den Bereichen Zukunftsforschung, Höhlenforschung sowie Computergrafik und Computerkunst. Franke pflegte einen klaren und sehr nüchternen Stil. Immer wiederkehrendes Motiv seiner Romane und Erzählungen ist die Frage nach dem Wesen der Realität, auf die es keine endgültige Antwort gibt. Ein weiteres bestimmendes Thema in Frankes Werken ist die ausweglose Situation von Individuen in zunehmend technisierten, durchorganisierten und totalitären Welten der Zukunft, wobei Franke seine Visionen aus schon vorhandenen Trends und Technologien unserer Zeit komponiert. Als übergeordnete philosophische Frage, …

Little Mushroom

Decades have passed since the Earth's magnetic poles disappeared, changing the balance forever. As the last remnants of humanity huddle in their bases, the remaining lifeforms have mutated into so-called xenogens and taken over the outside world. In the midst of this war for life or death, a sentient mushroom lived his little life in the forest. That is, until humans came and took something precious from him — his spore. With his life's purpose gone, the young xenogen is ready to risk his life to reclaim it. So, donning a dead boy's face and calling himself An Zhe, the little mushroom makes an attempt to infiltrate a human base. To get inside, he must first get past the Supreme Judge Lu Feng, whose job it is to detect and kill any mutants who try to sneak through the gate. It is said that nothing can escape his cold sight, which is now locked on An Zhe... (Source: Aloha Comics) Note: Silver Award winner at the 12th Chinese Nebula Awards for Chinese Science Fiction.
