When the self becomes a scientific unknown

On November 7, 2026, Uwe Kallin invites you to a literary encounter at the Mainz café [cu|vée] with his scientific thriller Copy Error. At the center is a man who awakes in a foreign body and can no longer unambiguously recognize his own identity.

A thriller between consciousness and technology

Kallin's novel combines psychological tension with technological questions. A brain chip, a desperate scientist, and the unethical misuse of modern research lead to a scenario where memory, body, and personality lose their supposed security.

The author tells the story of Albert Hansen, whose reality is shaken by manipulated memories and contradictory explanations. The narrative tension arises from the question of whether there is indeed a technical copy error or whether a much greater truth is meant to remain hidden.

Uwe Kallin: Technology as material for strong stories

Uwe Kallin was born in 1963 in Hesse, studied electrical engineering with communication technology, and has been working in television since 1991. His experience with editing, dramaturgy, and narrative structure shapes his literary style. In Copy Error, he combines technical understanding with an accessible, tension-oriented narrative style.

The scientific thriller published by Mentoren-Verlag addresses the big questions behind the technical surface: What makes a person? Are memories inalienably part of one's own identity? And what responsibility does science bear when it intervenes in human consciousness?

Reading atmosphere at café [cu|vée]

The intimate atmosphere of café [cu|vée] creates a fitting framework for this author encounter. Between literary artistry, scientific ideas, and tension-filled action, a literary experience emerges that appeals not only to thriller fans but also to visitors interested in artificial intelligence, neurotechnology, and the ethical boundaries of progress.

Conclusion: Literature as a thought experiment

The reading by Uwe Kallin promises an evening where science and literature meet directly.
