Gert Scobel is one of the most popular and well-read presenters on public television. And one of the most renowned science journalists. With his new book "The Flying Carpet" he undertakes nothing less than a diagnosis of our modern world. A surprising and eye-opening analysis. Using the image of the flying carpet, he illustrates problems and characteristics of the present in clear terms. His topics range from the problem of justification in the sciences to the question of what is real, from the state of our society to the power of imagination.
