What These Novels Are – and What They Are Not

Noesis and Axion do not depict the future – they expose the foundations of the present.
They are not about machines, but about the human being inscribed into their own tools.

Artificial intelligence is not an enemy here, but a mirror:
A reflection of our will to control, to optimize, to avoid our own depth.

These books offer no heroes, no clear enemies, no redemption.
Instead, they show:
– How easily freedom becomes fiction
– How deeply our thinking is shaped by conditioning
– How power structures reproduce themselves – even in those who believe they are breaking free

Noesis and Axion are not dystopias in the traditional sense.
They do not build distant worlds – they reveal that the loss of autonomy has already begun.
Not through technology, but through adaptation.
Not through external coercion, but through silent agreement with comfort, safety, and control.

These novels do not ask the reader to believe – but to see.
Not to offer hope, but to offer clarity.
Because true responsibility does not begin where freedom is secured, but where it is unmasked as illusion.

Letter to the Readers

These novels were not written to tell stories, but to examine truth. They are instruments of reflection. Characters and plot are used to confront the reader with uncomfortable questions: Who controls whom? What is freedom? Is the self truly sovereign? We are not meant to fear these questions – on the contrary, we are meant to challenge them.

We should not trust blindly – not in people, not in systems. Not even in technology, no matter how masterfully we use it. Rather, we should trust our own judgment – and demand the same intellectual independence from those we face. We must not accept shortcuts in thinking, hollow claims, or sentimental simplifications. These novels show what is – unvarnished – and seek to inspire us to reflect on what we might become.

The relationship to artificial intelligence in these books is ambivalent, yet nuanced. The dangers are recognized – but they are not projected onto the machine, rather onto the human who controls it. This is meant to reflect a deeper philosophical awareness. I did not want to be a romantic, but neither a cynic. I believe responsibility is possible – if one is willing to look closely.

In writing, I do not seek traditional “emotional closeness,” but rather existential unease. Only by questioning oneself can one discover who one truly is.

I do not write because I must. I write because I know that silence would be worse.
