30 ORIGINALS The widespread cliché about company founders and managers is that they’re obsessive, prepared to take risks and, of course, constantly come up with one great idea after another. But is there actually any truth in this? Renowned organisational psychologist Adam Grant shows which kind of people are the biggest non-conformists and spells out exactly how you can be more effective in bringing your own quirks into play, make allies and choose the right moment to take action. This is an inspiring read for anyone who wants to put their own ideas into practice and achieve great success. Grant, Adam (2016): Originals. How Non-Conformists Move the World. Droemer HC. Hardback edition. Price: EUR 22.99. DRONE LAND It’s not money which rules the world, but information. – Not even George Orwell would have been able to imagine the world which Tom Hillenbrand portrays in his science fiction thriller “Drone Land” in his wildest dreams. The action takes place in the EU in the middle of the 21st century. Vast swathes of Europe are under water thanks to climate change and there is almost total around-the-clock surveillance of each individual wherever they are. Everything is being watched. Everything is safe. But then a murder is committed which calls everything into question. A pulsating thriller which couldn’t be more relevant. Hillenbrand, Tom (2014): Drone Land (German title: Drohnenland). KiWi. Paperback edition. Price: EUR 9.99.
