The book “300 Keywords Weltraum” (“300 Keywords Space”) by Oliver Bendel was published by Springer Gabler on August 28, 2025. The first printed copies were delivered at the beginning of September. It is a fundamental work on space travel and space. It contains numerous digressions, for example on space poetry and space art – or on the mythological background to the naming of celestial bodies and galaxies. Central themes that run through the entire book are ethics, robotics, and the environment. These are areas in which the Zurich-based philosopher of technology and business IT specialist is at home. You can either read from A for Anthropozän (Anthropocene) to Z for Zwegplanet (Dwarf Planet), or choose one of the more than 300 terms and jump from there. It is Oliver Bendel’s sixth “Keywords” book, two of which are already in their second edition, namely the one on information ethics and the one on digitization. The most recent publication in this series is “300 Keywords Generative KI” (“300 Keywords Generative AI”). The book can be downloaded or ordered at link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-49287-8. It is also available in bookstores.
