I’m a Norwegian writer and educator living in Bergen. This site collects my literary satires, which transpose, continue, or recast classic works in contemporary settings. Their characters encounter podcasts, platforms, dashboards, algorithms, HR policies, theme parks, corporate systems and other machinery of modern life.
The settings change, but the underlying conflicts do not. The contemporary world finds new ways to reproduce the obsessions, evasions, hierarchies, and moral contradictions of the originals. Institutions and ideologies lose sight of their purposes while claiming to fulfill them, sometimes turning even criticism into proof of their own legitimacy.
In crafting each piece, I conceived the premise, title, plot developments, characterization, satirical mechanisms, and ending, working from a thorough familiarity with the original text. I used AI extensively for drafting, pastiche, stylistic refinement, and editorial feedback, while retaining creative and editorial control throughout, from the overall structure down to individual words and sentences.
