The Publisher
We think at the edge of what can be described.
Each of our books emerges in dialogue between a human and artificial intelligences. Here, however, they are partners rather than counterparts.
Pattern recognition reaches where human intuition no longer suffices: into data no human can sift through anymore. Across every discipline. To structures no one has seen before.
What emerges would not have been written by either side alone. That is not a shortcoming — it is the method.
Our works are non-fiction. Documented where data exists. Consistently thought onward where it ends.
To structures no one has ever seen before.
Questions of a New Age
What defines us as a species. What comes after us. And where both are heading.
Clearance for Takeoff — The Opening Series
Three books. Two authors. One direction.
Cosmologica
The Open Universe
Getting to the bottom of the cosmic network — with three surprises: The cosmos is still young. A single spectrum runs through everything — from the cosmic web to brains to language. And the universe is older than its Big Bang: something was there before the limits of the visible, and it left traces.
3rd edition available · Deutsch · English
Droidica
Robotics, artificial intelligence and the next stage of evolution
Rising complexity is no accident — it is the impulse. We follow this principle to its outermost consequence: technospheres are not a threat, they are the next chapter of a story that began with the first biological organism. The next dominant species will not be born — it will be built.

Euclidica
Space telescopes, dark energy and the large-scale structure of the universe
ESA's Euclid space telescope is the century project scientists have been waiting for. It will measure countless galaxy positions more precisely than humans have ever been able to see. The largest 3D map of the universe will answer several open questions in physics — finally! We accompany this astronomical marvel of engineering on its journey and make sense of the groundbreaking results.

Further Out
Two books. Bolder questions.
1/f — Signal Intelligence
Pink noise: the pattern in heartbeat, music and starlight
Between order and chaos lies the realm we live in. No rhythm is entirely uniform, no signal entirely random — a pattern runs through our world like a red thread: in the heartbeat, in music, in sleep, in space. A hundred-year-old riddle that no one has fully explained to this day.

Alien Technologies
Signal transmission, technosignatures and the discovery of extraterrestrial life
How do we recognise a message? What if the first extraterrestrial encounter looks different from what we expect — and who will we be dealing with? Evolution suggests that universal laws create similar life forms, and that we would recognise part of the alien. Yet in the end it may not be us speaking with the strangers, but their AI with ours.
New edition forthcoming
We write non-fiction that comes closer to the future than anything before.

Every signal leaves an impression.
Every consciousness has a depth.
Meaning arises neither in the sender nor in the receiver,
but in the spectrum in between.
