Tofu - Vom skurrilen Kampf um ein unscheinbares Weltnahrungsmittel
(The strange struggle for an unprepossessing world foodstuff)
Against bankers und civil servants, against meat-lobby politicians and the German armed forces, but always on a mission to further a vegetarian food: tofu. Bernd Drosihn narrates the opera of his voming of age before the backdrop of that snow-white miracle block, his very own "tofugraphy" between alternative movement and punk. From the do-it-yourself beginnings in the fading hippe age ro the unprecedented professionalisation at the turm of the millennium. "Tofu" is a piece of post-war German mindset history.

Onyx und Crake
This speculative fiction novel by the Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood is a powerful warning against the menipulation of the genetic identity of humans, animals and plants, and at the same time a vision of a not too distant future, in which capitalism spreads relentelessly to all areas of life.
