Although he has a love affair with her, he only discovers her secret several years later when they meet at the Wagner festival in Bayreuth. This story is set at a time in the future when computers become more and more like humans and humans more and more like computers. The \"thinking computers\" go on strike, demand the same rights as humans, fight discrimination, adopt a constitution and are eventually fully recognized as citizens. In its enlightened and humane rationality the utopia of a better world takes shape, in which the weaknesses of human foolishness are overcome. But the computers not only think, they also feel, love and suffer. One of them even becomes schizophrenic and is treated psychoanalytically - with success. Following the novel 'The Mini Atom Project' physicist Richard M. Weiner reflects in his playfully witty, sometimes satirical fantasy about a future that has already moved quite close to the present, about the anthropological boundaries between man and machine, and at the same time those between humans and animals, the familiar and the foreign, nature and culture, life and death - and about happiness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard M.
