Philosopher of madness, author of techno-fantasy.
I'm a philosopher at Umeå University in northern Sweden. I publish on ethics, agency, epistemology and madness. My debut novel Kugghjulssjälar (Cogwheel Souls) was published in March 2025 and received great reviews in both traditional print media and on social media. A sequel is on the way. The English version is currently looking for a home.

Ice age meets stone age when a nomatic people follow the movements of the fish, the ice and their gods. The group is stalked by a macabre lump of flesh, that soon develops finger legs, sharp teeth and a focused appetite on human flesh. I'm drawn into their stone age life so close to nature, and in the shadow of the ice. It's bulrush, fishskin frocks and sweaty paddling upstream to the winter camp. Above all, it's a fascinating exploration of a possible world of ideas from that era: suns, dreams and the underworld.
