Franzi Kopka was born in 1990 in the Bergisches Land region as the daughter of a bookseller. She started making up her own stories for her three younger siblings at an early age. Today, the author lives with her husband and three cats and devotes herself entirely to writing. Her debut book for young people, “Gameshow”, immediately made it onto the Spiegelbestseller list.
Franzi Kopka reads from the trilogy “Honesty”: The world 2306. Wars and a pandemic have decimated humanity. To ensure peace in the future, all feelings have been eliminated and an implanted device forces people to answer all questions truthfully. The society established in Germany is divided into 8 rings. The privileged upper class lives in Ring 1, after Ring 8 unmarried people and so-called liars, people who are still capable of emotions and are persecuted as terrorists, are cast out. The 17-year-old first-person narrator Mae grew up in Ring 5. She does everything she can to hide her emotions from the surveillance state, but when she is selected for an elite matchmaking camp and subjected to weeks of tests, her flaw threatens to be exposed.
