--

When Renate Hofer falls into a water tank cleaning the ventilation of a huge data storage facility, she not only fears for her life, but also has an epiphany: she will build a machine like none that has ever existed before, to overcome the computer age. Her plan takes shape in the world as we know it - a pandemic has raged, trust in language is waning, money is eating away at justice.

To implement it, Renate recruits the bravest and smartest from the fields of physics and art, linguistic research and financial trickery, a whole fucking army: Kerstin Waldmann, Doro Coppe, Xiasong Zhao, Vexus Texas and more. With them, she is building a new world out of the tiny vortices that are called like this novel: skyrmions.
