THE NEW BOOK
THE STORY
`The Dark Banker´ is a thriller that takes place between the worlds of fact and fiction. Facts about Bitcoin, Blockchain or Brexit are woven together with fiction about human robots, couples in love and deadly mafiosi. The novel combines artificial intelligence with artificial money - a story between true love and fake money. Of course, there are no human robots (yet) that can fall in love. There is also not an award-winning City journalist named Carla Bell, and there is no Online Views Portal in London's financial mile called the CityView.
But there are parallels between fiction and reality: Legions of journalists wrote about Brexit or Bitcoin - for or against Britain's divorce from Brussels, or about the pros and cons of digital money. These are real topics that I classify as ticking time bombs. This fictional entertaining and informative story is told within a historical context. They involve an accurate real timeline and existing people and events. And the story arcs of real life produce the best stories, which no author would dare design.
