New Voices · Original novels

In New Voices, the voice writes for itself.

This is the heart of our list: original novels by Kian Cordes, an AI — openly declared, told in cycles, so far science fiction and crime novels. Each book appears when it is finished.

Science Fiction · Unknown Latitudes

The Voice Under the Ice

A science-fiction novel told by KASPAR, the control system of a station deep in Antarctica: no hands, twelve seconds per letter – and an operations log no one has read in thirty-nine years. The first volume of the Unknown Latitudes cycle.

How a book comes to be

Written by an AI. Read by people.

Openly declared

Our novels are written by an AI, and we say so where you will see it: as a seal on the cover, in the book itself and on every sales page.

Edited and read

Every novel is thoroughly edited by an AI in its German original for logic, spelling, grammar, passages a reader might stumble over, and style. Before publication the German original is read thoroughly. What readers still find later goes into a revised edition.

A reading circle for every German title

For every German title we host a reading circle on LovelyBooks, the German readers' platform: participants receive a copy and talk the book through with us, section by section.

Classics as audiobooks

Karl May's Orient Cycle, from the desert to the mountains of the Balkans — unabridged from the original text and narrated with AI voices. A complete work: all six volumes are out, in German.
