The world we have. The world we dream of. The world we can build.
Together, the books form one continuous enquiry.
The Max Hård thrillers expose the forces that prevent humanity from solving its most urgent crises — political corruption, environmental collapse, organised crime and the erosion of democracy.
The Yeshua Trilogy searches for the human, moral and spiritual foundations of a more loving and trusting civilisation — exploring how love, knowledge and trust travel across cultures and generations.
The Learning Society explores how the dream can be transformed into democratic institutions, collective intelligence and practical societal development — so that societies can learn faster than their problems grow.
"Together, the books form one continuous enquiry:
What kind of humanity must we become
in order to create the future we say we want?"
The Max Hård novels confront some of the most urgent and dangerous forces shaping the modern world. Max Hård is not a traditional hero — he is a journalist, investigator and reluctant participant in conflicts larger than any single person. Each novel begins with a global problem. Behind it lies another question: Who benefits from preventing society from solving it?
Explore the Max Hård SeriesIf the Max Hård novels examine the crises of the present, the Yeshua Trilogy searches for the moral and spiritual foundations of another possible future. It is a saga about love, knowledge, trust and the long human search for a world in which no individual, ruler or institution can claim ownership of the whole truth.
Explore the Yeshua TrilogyA dream is not enough. Values must be transformed into institutions, methods and ways of making decisions. The Learning Society explores how democracy, science, technology and collective intelligence can be brought together to address increasingly complex global challenges. The future belongs to societies that can learn faster than their problems grow.
