When a retired German scientist accepts a LinkedIn request from a young woman in London, an unexpected connection begins. What starts as professional conversation soon deepens into intimate exchanges about politics, philosophy, love, wealth, and the meaning of life. But beneath the warmth and intellectual chemistry lies a hidden agenda. As cryptocurrency profits and financial “opportunities” enter the dialogue, trust is quietly tested. Running alongside the unfolding digital relationship is Wilhelm Erdbruegger’s personal memoir, revealing his childhood, scientific career, mental health crisis, and enduring marriage. The Internet Contact is a compelling and unsettling exploration of connection, deception, vulnerability, and the search for meaning in the age of the internet.
