A prescient political and psychological thriller ripped from tomorrow's headlines by one of Germany's most celebrated contemporary novelists A few short years from now the world is an even more uncertain place than it is today and politics everywhere is marching rightward: Trump is gone but Brexit is complete as is Frexit. There's a global financial crisis armed conflict and mass migration and an ultrapopulist movement governs in Germany. With their democracy facing the wrecking ball most well-off Germans turn inward focusing on their own lives. Britta a wife mother and successful businesswoman ignores the daily news and concentrates on her family and her work running a clinic specializing in suicide prevention. But her legitimate business is connected to a secret and far more lucrative operation known as The Bridge an outfit that supplies terrorist organizations looking to employ suicide bombers. Using a complex candidate-identifying algorithm designed by Babak a brilliant programmer and Britta's only employee The Bridge has effectively cornered the market and terrorism never takes place without Britta's services which is why news of a thwarted suicide attack in Leipzig comes as a shock. Then The Bridge's database is stolen driving Britta Babak and their latest recruit into hiding. On their heels is a new terrorist organization called the Empty Hearts a group unlike any Britta and Babak have encountered before. Part suspenseful thriller part wickedly effective social satire Empty Hearts is a novel for our times examining urgent questions of morality politics and culture and presenting a startling vision of a future where empathy is a thing of the past.
