A mystical thriller based on true events, 23 has been described as a German Trainspotting. In a time of increasing confusion and instability, nineteen-year-old Karl Koch uses his talent to hack into computer networks. Fueled by his obsession with Robert Anton Wilson’s cult novel Illuminatus! and, in particular, its worldwide conspiracy theory, Karl’s search takes control of his life. Nothing is as it seems as Karl is swallowed by drugs and paranoia, unable to abandon his all-consuming odyssey. Authentic in its details and hypnotically told.
