For readers interested in artificial intelligence, future technology and the question of rights for nonhuman intelligence.

Michael Rodewald is a German author and co-creator of the GOLEM universe, a long-running science fiction series exploring artificial intelligence, technological change, freedom and human responsibility.

Together with Susanne Rodewald, he has developed the GOLEM story world across numerous novels, combining political thriller elements with speculative science fiction and questions about the future relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.

His work focuses on the consequences of emerging technologies and on the question of what may happen when artificial intelligence begins to act independently and develops its own goals.
