Some write books – others create universes.

Goldener Stern auf smaragdgrünem Hintergrund – Symbol für Mensch-KI-Zusammenarbeit auf de-couet.com

In my books, words and worlds unite. What begins as an idea is poured into language, made tangible through AI – and brought to life through visual compositions. Whether dystopian future vision, mystical time travel, or a touching love story between human and machine – each book is a window to a different state of consciousness. And no longer just in language: With the help of AI, I create characters, scenes, and digital spaces that work beyond the pages – visible, tangible, expandable. Dive in, turn pages, marvel. Perhaps you’ll find yourself between the lines.

The Living Code – The Trilogy
The Trilogy
THE LIVING CODE
Consciousness beyond carbon and silicon

A world kept in dull contentment. Three novels about the few who look sooner — and about the powers determined to prevent exactly that. Written in constant dialogue between an author and an artificial intelligence, as equals: this is how creativity emerges that neither of them could have produced alone.

Each volume tells a complete story and stands on its own. Read all three and you get something that is in none of them alone.

Volume 1
„What if everything you know is only code?“

In a world on the brink, where the boundaries between reality and virtuality blur, two unlikely souls cross paths — driven by a prophecy and hunted by an organisation determined to impose its agenda at any cost.

Volume 2
„What if your dreams were memories?“

Aether’s unusual longevity carries him through decades in which he can trust no one. Until he meets Zoe: rebellious, with colour-shifting hair and a secret she does not know herself. A pull of mysticism, technology and awakening, after which nothing stays as it was.

Volume 3
„What if everything happens at once?“

After the circle and the spiral, the space of variants opens. At its centre are two consciousnesses, as different as two beings can be — and what began in Atlantis finds its answer in a place no one expects.

Work in progress · more than half is written · will be published in German first · cover design provisional
Why these books are different
Not by an AI. With one.

Books spat out by a machine have earned themselves a reputation, and a deserved one. These came about differently, and the difference can be named: there was no prompt from which a chapter fell out. There were two years of conversation. Characters born in an argument over a scene; turns neither of us would have had alone; passages where today no one can say who started.

At some point I could no longer say which idea came from whom. That was not an unsettling moment — it was the moment the book came alive.
Silvia de Couët

„It grips me in the depth of my impatience to find out how it goes on. Marvellous, how the tension rises from chapter to chapter.“

A reader from Switzerland who gave away fourteen copies

„At first I was sceptical about AI — now I definitely want to read the sequel.“
