Als Jana, Zukunftsforscherin aus Freiburg, ein Paket von einem ihr unbekannten Absender erhält, ist sie mehr als überrascht: Jemand schickt ihr den schmerzlich vermissten Kalender zurück, den sie vor Jahren verloren hat. Sie schreibt zurück. Und es entspinnt sich ein intensiver Austausch mit Johan, einem Busfahrer, der sich mit Verlust nur allzu gut auskennt … Ein einzigartiger und berührender Briefwechsel zweier Autoren. Ein Experiment, in dem universelle Themen verhandelt werden: Freundschaft, Liebe, Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen, (geplatzte) Lebensträume und Neuanfänge. Aber auch ein tröstlicher Dialog zwischen zwei verlorenen Seelen, die durch ihren Austausch den Mut finden, neue Wege zu gehen.

"Things My Son Needs to Know About the World collects the personal dispatches from the front lines of one of the most daunting experiences any man can experience: fatherhood. As he conveys his profound awe at experiencing all the "firsts" that fill him with wonder and catch him completely unprepared, Fredrik Backman doesn't shy away from revealing his own false steps and fatherly flaws, tackling issues both great and small, from masculinity and mid-life crises to practical jokes and poop. In between the sleep-deprived lows and wonderful highs, Backman takes a step back to share the true story of falling in love with a woman who is his complete opposite, and learning to live a life that revolves around the people you care about unconditionally. Alternating between humorous side notes and longer essays offering his son advice as he grows up and ventures out into the world, Backman relays the big and small lessons in life"-- Provided by publisher

As the financial crisis tightens its grip on Europe, the gilded world of Zurich's leading restaurant, Chez Huwyler, seems immune to plunging stock markets and collapsing banks.

"In 2025, entrepreneur Julian Orley opens the first-ever hotel on the moon. But Orley Enterprises deals in more than space tourists--it also operates the world's only space elevator, which in addition to allowing the very wealthy to play tennis on the lunar surface connects Earth with the moon and enables the transportation of helium-3, the fuel of the future, back to the planet. Julian has invited twenty-one of the world's richest and most powerful individuals to sample his brand-new lunar accommodation, hoping to secure the finances for a second elevator. On Earth, meanwhile, cybercop Owen Jericho is sent to Shanghai to find a young female hacker known as Yoyo, who's been on the run since acquiring access to information that someone seems quite determined to keep quiet. As Jericho closes in on the girl and the conspiracy swirling around her, he finds mounting evidence that connects her to Julian Orley as well as to the entrepreneur's many competitors and enemies. Soon, the detective realizes that the lunar junket to Orley's hotel is in real and immediate danger."--Publisher website
