Thumbs up Free (Kindle) Singularitäten by Peter Schattschneider [Austrian German Hard Sci-Fi]

Singularitäten (Singularities) by Austrian author Peter Schattschneider (ISFDB, Wikipedia DE), who has twice been a recipient of the prestigious Kurd-Lasswitz Prize, is a stealth collection in his Heavensgate series of German-language science fiction tales taking place in a shared universe set in the far future where humans have developed interstellar travel via black holes, comprising a “novel” containing episodic stories linked by recurring characters and motifs and exploring the workings and ramifications of the setting, but otherwise readable standalone, according to ISFDB, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press.

This was originally published in 1984 by Suhrkamp as #129 in their Phantastische Bibliothek line with the full title of Singularitäten: Ein Episodenroman im Umfeld Schwarzer Löcher, and has previously been offered free in 2016.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive or else program)

Description
Gottsein schmerzte. Aber es war ein Faktum. Das erste und das größte. Vielleicht fand er doch noch einen Menschen. Vielleicht war alles gar nicht wahr. Da spürte er es in seiner Brust vibrieren, als der Servomotor anlief.

Virtuelle Realitäten, ferne Sternenwelten, Surrogate – die verschiedenen Episoden des Romans sind mal vielschichtig, mal kurz und pointiert, aber immer von großem Tiefgang.

Der mit dem Kurd-Laßwitz-Preis ausgezeichnete Autor Peter Schattschneider beweist, wie nahe sich Wissenschaft und Science Fiction stehen können. Mit seinen gut recherchierten Hintergründe liest sich der Roman nicht kalt und technisiert, sondern fantasievoll und eindrücklich.

Singularitäten sind Mysterien und Sehnsuchtspunkte zugleich, und so kreisen die Episoden um jene Schwarzen Löcher, die eine so düstere Anziehungskraft auf den menschlichen Geist ausüben.
