- Summary:
- "Vier junge Visionäre gründen in Berlin ein Start-Up up und entwickeln zusammen eine App: das sogenannte Ting, das körperbezogene Daten seiner Nutzer sammelt, auswertet und auf dieser Grundlage Handlungs- und Entscheidungsempfehlungen gibt. Das Prinzip Ting überzeugt - die App schlägt ein wie eine Bombe. Getrieben vom Erfolg entwickelt Mitgründer Linus die Möglichkeiten immer weiter, sein eigenes Leben und das der User mithilfe des Ting zu optimieren. Doch um neue Investoren für die Firma zu gewinnen, sind er und sein Team bald gezwungen, sich auf ein gefährliches Spiel einzulassen: Sie verpflichten sich vertraglich, künftig unter allen Umständen jeder Empfehlung des Ting zu gehorchen - mit verheerenden Folgen." -- Various webistes, similar to thesynopsis on the cover.
- "Four young visionaries found a start-up in Berlin and jointly develop an app: the so-called Ting, which collects and evaluates the body-related data of its users and makes recommendations for action and decisions based on this data. The Ting principle is convincing - the app hits like a bomb. Driven by success, co-founder Linus continues to develop the possibilities to optimize his own life and that of the user with the help of Ting. But in order to attract new investors to the company, he and his team were soon forced to take on a dangerous game: they contractually agreed to obey every recommendation of the Ting under all circumstances - with devastating consequences." -- Translation and interpretation of the German synopsis
