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 an actually life-changing self-realization and shortly afterwards a conclusion of this project.
