This humorous short story introduces a fictional world called "Hilbert Space".The name, an homage to the mathematical concept of a Hilbert Space, is not the only reference to modern day science you will find. Let Professor Tinwin, an eccentric scientist, explain to you what makes Hilbert Space the most interesting place in the observable universe and how it all comes down to entropy in the end.This humorous short story introduces a fictional world called "Hilbert Space".The name, an homage to the mathematical concept of a Hilbert Space, is not the only reference to modern day science you will find.Let Professor Tinwin, an eccentric scientist, explain to you what makes Hilbert Space the most interesting place in the observable universe and how it all comes down to entropy in the end.Follow him on an adventure at the desert planet Kevar 7 where you can learn a lot about ancient Tinillian poetry and find out, how neglacting air resistance can save your life.

“Nano Stories from Hilbert Space” are very short stories set in the whimsical world of Hilbert Space."Fully Automated" is the tale of a race of aliens, who face a unique challenge on their way to a free civilization. Their fate serves as a warning, that in a world, dominated by economy, capitalism and money, automation can be seen as an extinction event.“Nano Stories from Hilbert Space” are very short stories (no longer than 4000 words each) set in the whimsical world of Hilbert Space. Hilbert Space, a very special region of the universe, is a rather unique place. Inhabited by dozens of space faring civilizations and spanning hundreds of systems, it is home to thousands of stories worth telling. While the laws of physics, which lead to the rest of space being quite dull and boring for the most part, are acknowledged here, Hilbert Space is known to find many workarounds, loopholes, and compromises that ensure that it is a dangerous, yet also extremely entertaining domain. "Fully Automated" is the tale of the Parokk, an alien race that lives peacefully and happily on their planet Parogia. But then something terrible happens: Due to technological progress the Parokk can have everything they wish for, wihtout the need to work. While other races simply accept their fate and live as a free society of scientists, artists and philosophers, the Parokk choose to fight. They fight for their right to do manual labour, their right to serve the Corporation and ultimately their right to earn barely enough to survive.

And if you are eager to learn my name as well...” He comes even closer until his eyes are directly in front of yours and you can feel his warm breath on your cheeks. He leans forward and slowly whispers into your ear, “My... name... is…”
