Marcus, the telekinetic, who is still on the most wanted list in Europe, and Maria, a "para-seer" who can look through walls, join forces with other persons with "parabilities." The growing team of people with supernatural talents has headquarters in New Zealand. They are trying to help other people, yet have to remain under cover. They encounter a series of almost unsolvable problems. Yet with luck, ingenuity, advanced computer science technology and the support of New Zealand's prime minister they manage to solve them, only to be confronted with a deadly danger... This book by one of the most prestigious European computer scientists makes you wonder how much is truth and how much is fiction!
Hermann Maurer is an Austrian computer scientist, serving as Professor of Computer Science at the Graz University of Technology. He has supervised over 40 dissertations, written more than 20 books and over 600 scientific articles, and started or been involved with a number of companies. He thinks that future applications of computers can barely be described using today's terminology, and so employs metaphors such as telepathy and teleportation when discussing them.
