Peter Grandl reads in Harburg: Thriller about the truth of the future!
On September 25, 2025 at 7 p.m., the Fischhalle Harburg will be the venue for a special book launch: Peter Grandl, the creative mind behind the thriller “RESET – The truth dies first,” will read from his latest work. This event not only promises exciting insights into the world of digital manipulation, but also deals with the current social challenges caused by technologies such as deepfakes. Grandl, a former film director and creative director in the advertising industry, has already caused a sensation with his debut novel “Tower Shadow” (2024), which was successfully adapted into a film by Paramount. His new book, published in June 2025, covers explosive topics such as the threat of synthetic voices and AI-generated content.
“RESET” takes readers into a world in which the truth increasingly becomes an illusion. The story centers on a dramatic scenario in which a fighter pilot must shoot down a crowded passenger plane to prevent a major disaster. This reflects the social question that Grandl also raises in the source of inspiration, which is influenced by Ferdinand von Schirach - but without addressing legal questions of guilt, such as South Germans reported.
A look behind the scenes
The effects of digital manipulation are immense: politically, socially and personally, the image of reality is increasingly distorted by artificial interventions. In his work, Peter Grandl highlights the dangers associated with this new age. “RESET” vividly captures how deepfakes intervene in our everyday lives and how this influences our trust in our own perception and truthfulness. The film rights to this haunting thriller have already been sold, indicating the high level of interest in the subject and the author's captivating narrative style.
Tickets for the reading are available online at fischhalle-harburg.de available and cost 15 euros. This event not only offers literary enjoyment, it also stimulates reflection about the reality in which we live. Awards for Grandl's works are already evidence of his success - it remains exciting to see how his new book will further develop the thriller genre.
Be there when Peter Grandl shares his thoughts on the complex topic between reality and digital manipulation in Harburg on September 25th. This reading promises to be a captivating experience that will open your eyes to the challenges of our time.
