What if all people were equally rich? Two children from two worlds that could hardly be more different: Charlotte, the daughter of the French ambassador in Tokyo, and Hiroshi, the son of a laundress. They meet at the age of ten and become friends, despite their parents disapproving of the contact. The differences between rich and poor are said to be insurmountable – and this gives Hiroshi a simple yet brilliant idea. The friends' paths diverge, come together again years later, and separate once more. Throughout it all, Hiroshi has only one goal: to implement his plan to overcome all social differences. For he believes that this is the only way he can win Charlotte's love. With "Master of All Things," bestselling author Andreas Eschbach has created an exciting sci-fi novel that plays with utopias and surreal societal concepts.
