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 has its own ways of reproducing the obsessions, evasions, hierarchies and moral contradictions of the originals.
