Signal & Stille

Two books, two poles. One explains a technology that is changing the world. The other searches for what lies beneath — when the noise finally falls silent.

Why AI Is Not Just Hype

and how it is fundamentally changing our everyday lives

From heating engineer to AI author. Florian Obermeier explains artificial intelligence the way he discovered it himself — without mathematics, without magic, but with clarity. A map for everyone who wants to understand what is happening right now, and for those who don't just want to watch, but actively shape it.

Stille — Memoir with Soundtrack

You Only Hear It When It Falls Silent

A Book with Soundtrack

Everything was running. The job, the calendar, the role nobody would think to question. Until the body starts doing things that can no longer be explained. A record of the journey through silence — and a soundtrack that picks up where words reach their limits. One song for each of the 13 chapters. QR code, click, straight to the track.

I live in the Bavarian Forest. Where the map is green, where hills calm the gaze and dead zones often decide on phone calls faster than you do. A good place to think.

For a long time, that wasn't my world. Job, side projects, on the road almost every weekend. Events, concerts. Always loud, always busy. I was the one people called when something had to run, and I usually said the next yes before I'd thought about it. For a while it felt like achievement. Until my body disagreed.

These days I live more deliberately. I listen more often before I answer. To myself too, which is actually the harder of the two.

What I keep thinking about doesn't fit neatly into one discipline. AI hasn't let me go in years. But just as much, the question of why so many people keep functioning until their body decides for them. I was one of them.

I don't believe you always have to be strong. But I do believe you shouldn't stay alone with it.
