“Can you fit an interesting life between two book covers? Yes, but sometimes a lot of exciting things have to be left out. Also because paper can’t reproduce sound or movies.” Swiss journalist Mark van Huisseling came to this conclusion and developed a digital biography of Thomas Trüb, founder and president of The Dariu Foundation, to be viewed on laptop, tablet, smartphone et cetera.
The trilingual website “Life of Thomas” – German, French and English – is now online. In addition to a detailed portrait of Thomas Trüb (headline: “The last yuppie”, published in the NZZ am Sonntag magazine), there are numerous original sounds from “TT” and his companions, plenty of pictures plus music (including a song composed especially for Thomas) and a conversation with ChatGPT about what the entrepreneur Trüb would probably do today.
