Seven stories that lie in the future but do not belong to classical science fiction literature. In his own words, Franz Fühmann wrote the first story Ohnmacht (Powerlessness) to overcome an existential crisis. In this book, he engages with the difficult questions that people are preoccupied with and yet are unable to resolve.
