Speculative Realism for a future-ready world.

I write near-future fiction that fuses immersion with insights, entertainment with intellectual depth. My stories explore realistic what-ifs — how society and technology co-evolve — and invite you to think, feel, and leave with at least one “I’ve never looked at it that way” moment. Berlin-based; powered by coffee and what-ifs.

Why I write

I’m drawn to the edge where the future starts to feel personal. I don’t write to predict; I write to provoke — to test plausible paths rooted in today and see what they do to people: their loves, their work, their sense of meaning. If a story can widen agency — yours and mine — it’s doing its job.

What I write

Call it Speculative Realism or Near-Future Fiction: character-driven stories built on one realistic “what-if” pushed a step forward. I’m progress-positive and clear-eyed — curious about innovation, honest about consequences, never preachy. Ideas through story; characters first.

If you like moral curiosity and grounded worldbuilding with contemporary, tech-literate sensibility, you’re in the right place.

What I want for my readers

  • Aha moments that linger long after the last page.

  • Emotional immersion without dumbing down the ideas.

  • Agency — stories that make tomorrow feel a little more buildable.

  • Conversation fuel for book clubs and late-night walks.

My promise: Smart but accessible. Reflective, sincere, occasionally witty. No lectures. No doom for doom’s sake.

Short Bio

I write near-future stories about people trying to live well when technology shifts the ground under their feet. My debut, The Human Relief Project, imagines a world after work and asks what remains of purpose, love, and dignity when jobs fall away.

In my day job, I lead strategy and operations in tech and nonprofits — experience that gives my books a clear view of systems and a soft spot for the humans inside them. I call my approach Speculative Realism: realistic “what-ifs,” character first, ideas woven through lived moments. Curious about progress and honest about its costs, I aim to leave readers gripped, thoughtful, and a little more equipped for tomorrow.

I live in Berlin with me wife and write most mornings — usually after a short workout and a strong coffee.
