“KNOT AFTER KNOT, DAY IN, day out, for an entire lifetime, always the same hand movements, always looping the same knots in the fine hair, so fine and so tiny that with time, the fingers trembled and the eyes became weak from strain-and still the progress was hardly noticeable.”
Andreas Eschbach wurde 1959 in Ulm geboren, studierte Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik und arbeitete zunächst als Software-Entwickler. Als Stipendiat der Arno-Schmidt-Stiftung »für schriftstellerisch hoch begabten Nachwuchs« schrieb er seinen ersten Roman, der 1995 erschien. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch den Bestseller DAS JESUS VIDEO. Andreas Eschbach lebt als freier Schriftsteller mit seiner Familie in der Nähe von Stuttgart. — Aus »Eine Billion Dollar«
