Avid sci-fi reader in my youth (reality catches up). Isaac Asimov is an all time favourite – five (5) rational AI* to govern the World, one for each continent as it were. Then: Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Joseph Heller, Karin Boye, Stanisław Lem, Philip K. Dick, William Gibson and Doris Lessing… maybe not related depending… Continue reading Punished By Machines

Signs V
Symbols and signs have a meaning. It has already happened. It’s been a long while since I saw the markings. The youth are the future and it is simply a question of education. “It” is a 5000 year old symbol representing Helios, that is our sun. The one star in our solar system. One of… Continue reading Signs V
Innestan
– Ja va precis i innestan*?! – Is that an actual Swedish word? Really? – What? I just heard myself saying these exact words: “Ja va i innestan.” – So what? – Innestan* would possibly be; Inre staden, innan stan or innanför tullarna. It is SoSo perspective speak.

However, I could as simply choose otherwise… but since it is brother Malcolm… – Maybe, I should have known that? – Yes, maybe you should’ve actually [known who the man in… Continue reading Is That?
D+R
I don’t know what to say. I’ve never actually met the man and discussed the music. Breaks eternal. Just, when I think that I’m done… listening for decades (I know it is never going to happen). When, I think that you will not listen or hear something like this again after +25 years… it still… Continue reading D+R
Where Is The Eagle?
– Did we just lose an entire Legion? Have we just lost 5000 strong? Some of our most experienced soldiers in the North? – Yes. – How is this even possible? This was supposed to be simple? Are you telling me that an entire, fully equipped Roman Legion just disappeared? The entire Legion, like in… Continue reading Where Is The Eagle?
There Is A Reason…
That’s when I left my friends at the door… On New Years’ Eve in London. The black stairs, the black painted club… – a legendary place. I needed to do it. I needed to go in. I left them on the stairs… it is not my proudest moment. I left my friends at the door…… Continue reading There Is A Reason…
