Jörn von Holten: Liora and the Starweaver, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A poetic parable about a world of perfect harmony and a girl whose questions tear cracks in the flawless fabric of reality. A modern fairy tale about artificial intelligence, human autonomy, and the courage to embrace imperfection.

When a question cuts sharper than a sword, and an answer can tear the sky apart.

In Liora's world, a painfully perfect order reigns. It is a realm without hunger or hardship, where every person has their designated place in the great pattern, weaving "threads of light" under the guidance of the invisible Star Weaver. But while other children collect light, Liora collects stones-"Question Stones," heavy and angular, which she carries in her backpack.

Liora senses that something is missing beneath the smooth surface of absolute bliss: "the trembling that is called longing." Driven by a doubt she cannot name, she seeks out the ancient Whisper Tree. But her search for truth comes at a high price. When she asks a question too big for this world, the unthinkable happens: the sky itself cracks, and the harmonic order threatens to collapse into chaos.

Together with Zamir, the master light weaver who seeks to preserve perfection at any cost, and a community of seekers in the "House of Waiting for Knowledge," Liora must learn that freedom is not just a gift, but a responsibility. She discovers that some questions are like seeds, while others are like knives-and that true beauty often begins where the pattern breaks.

"Liora and the Star Weaver" is not a classic fairy tale. It is a weave of thoughts, an allegorical exploration of superintelligence and determinism, wrapped in the story of a girl who dares to pull her own thread.
