71st Frankfurter Buchmesse begins in times of fundamental change

The 71st Frankfurter Buchmesse, which begins on 16 October and is on until 20 October 2019, takes place against the background of global political and social upheaval. Concern about the world’s situation given the threat of an imminent climate catastrophe, and in view of the growing power of antidemocratic forces, has produced a new generation of activists. Their ranks include authors whose novels, nonfiction, biographies and poetry are inspiring and galvanising people worldwide. At the same time, our data-driven digital age has acquired new dimensions: the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and the trailblasing progress being made in all areas of research are harbingers of disruptive developments that herald a new chapter in human history.
