Welcome,
Most of the stuff here is in Danish, but occasionally I translate articles into English. There's a selection below.
Otherwise, check out my blog.
I'm working as much as I can find the time for on my next book with the working title: Skills for the 21st. century. For now, I'm writing it in Danish, but you can read an English abstract of the main points here
My latest book is called ”Snapshots from the future”. It's 7 short stories that describe life in about 25 years time - give or take a decade.
The book is published in Danish, but the text has been translated into English and the whole thing is posted at the website of Danfoss Universe.
For years I've wanted to create something like a cartoon, with a heavy emphasis on pictures and a narrative form to engage readers more emotionally. I've tried to keep it light and inviting - but the underlying facts are never the less a quite serious attempt to destill years of future studies into a coherent picture.
It can be read by kids at about 15 years, but it's not meant to be just for school. I would hope that anyone trying to make sense of the future could find some inspiration in it.
 The first, introductory chapter of my book "The New Nature" which was published in Danish 1998
The index of The New Nature. The subtitles should give some indication of what subjects and themes are covered in the book.
An essay, which summarizes the main themes of The New Nature. The essay is a written version of a talk I gave in oct. 98 at New York University's Interactive Television program.
