In this issue, sisterMAG No. 42, we are taking a look at a true icon of German cinema: »Metropolis«. And as moved as the history of the film – from silent film legend and science fiction pioneer all the way to its lost manuscript – just as colorful is our mix of topics this time. We ask ourselves how love and work are changing in times of robots and artificial intelligence and whether our perfect beer will soon be chosen by them as well. We have a look at the boom of big cities, research the future of cooking and are getting ready for a festive – and of course, film-inspired – end of the year with our Christmas calendar special!
