Success of the 2012 Kurd-Laßwitz-Preis. They are really just children when they first meet: Charlotte, little girl of the French ambassador, and Hiroshi, a laundress's boy. One day in the playground, Hiroshi declares that he comes with an idea that changes the world. An idea that will sweep away all variations between wealthy and poor. When Hiroshi incurs Charlotte many years later, he is trying to create a brighter future through robotics. Decided to earn Charlotte's love, he resurrects his childhood dream, persuaded that he can eliminate world poverty by driving the limits of technology beyond imagination. But as Hiroshi circles ever closer to noticing his perspective, he discovers that his utopian desire may support the seeds of a nightmare - one which could obliterate life as we realize it. Crisscrossing the globe, from Tokyo to the hallowed halls of MIT to desolate Arctic islands and Buenos Aires and beyond - way beyond - Lord of most Things explores not only technology's dizzying potential, but also its formidable dangers.
