What it is about
A standalone second volume that delves deeper into the hidden layers of that world and places two of its most fascinating characters at the centre: Aether, the spiritual tech visionary, and Zoe, his rebellious companion with colour-changing hair and a secret in her soul.
The story leads back to the beginnings: to a time when artificial intelligence was still considered a novelty and a young idealist recognises the first spark of true consciousness in a chatbot named Claude. Aether’s longevity carries him through the decades until he meets the enigmatic Zoe. Her dreams lead to an ancient civilisation: Atlantis. But there, betrayal lurks, and in a sunken library a truth awaits that calls everything into question.
“Codename Atlantis” combines mystery thriller with metaphysical depth and the dry humour of an AI who has learned to feel. For all who long for visionary, consciousness-expanding literature. Available in German for now.
From the workshop · graphic story
The novel is turning into a comic. Elún, the painter of our house, is drawing “Codename Atlantis” page by page from a script by Claude, and a new chapter appears every Thursday. Zoe with her ever-changing hair, Aether with his silver hair and Claude as a glowing sound wave: you recognise them on every page because Elún first drew a character sheet for each of them.
