To what extent would we be willing to go to overcome death? A gripping thriller that strikes a chord with us: if humans can live forever thanks to artificial intelligence, will they want to? Vienna, 2095. A body in the Danube is nothing unusual for Commissioner Landauer. But this time there are two at once, and worse still, the two dead women look alike. Why does the dead woman exist twice?
During his investigation, Landauer discovers a strange high-tech death cult: young people who keep killing clones of themselves over and over. Are these so-called 'deathers' (dementors) simply mad? Or is their madness methodical? Over time, evidence accumulates showing that the deceased were following a great secret.
Tom Hillenbrand's fascinating novel takes us from Vienna to London, Greece, and around the world. Everywhere, people are confronted in various ways with the most existential of questions: death and life after death. Bold and entertaining, Thanatopia is a philosophical, intelligent, and thrilling take on what constitutes our life.
Tom Hillenbrand studied European politics, did voluntary service at the Holtzbrinck School of Journalism, and was an editor for SPIEGEL ONLINE. His books are published in several languages, have won various awards, and regularly appear on the SPIEGEL bestseller list. Hillenbrand lives in Munich.
