Olaf Langmack:
In 2014 I had made two experiences that generally are considered life-changing. Inspired by these, I set out to decipher my story. In February 2015, I captured its almost lifelong version through a series of typical episodes. (…) However, I couldn't find a way to decipher them convincingly.[1] I concluded that instead of an autobiography, I would have to write an autofictional novel, even without any experience or training. The fictional element became an impossible machine, which could read and print thoughts. This trick in 2020 [2] eventually brought a truely life-changing self-realization and a conclusion of this project.
