Human or Machine, Can You See a Difference?
Posted in Future/Sci-Fi on December 24th, 2006

Can you imagine a world in which you have to establish systems in order to detect if an intelligence is machine created or comes from a real human?
Scientists and programmers has already been developing such systems. No, I am not talking about a far future here, I am talking about 2002. The first system to […]


Information as a Global Power Tool
Posted in Future/Sci-Fi on October 16th, 2006

Forewords: I am not a politician. These are some thoughts from my head and they could be all wrong.
GOD controls the world, right? GOD stands for Gold (money), Oil and Drugs and the more of these you have the more power you have. And what can you use to control masses of people? Twisted religions, […]


I got chapter 1 and 2 back from my teacher
Posted in My Fiction Writings on December 13th, 2005

Spoke to my writing teacher today and she gave me back the first two chapters of my Sci-Fi novel with feedback. I had turned them in for evaluation and now I just want to say one thing:
It is hard …


Poem: Something Special
Posted in Philosophy, Poems on December 4th, 2005

There was a very special matter and some special supreme forces.
Something happened and the matter exploded.
The supreme forces then evolved the exploded matter into systems of an infinite amount of shining balls.
Some of these shining balls were more special than others and there were especially one that came to have a very special meaning.
This particular […]


My Viewpoint on Trust
Posted in Essays, My Philosophical Essays on December 4th, 2005

“On the day we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.” - L. Ron Hubbard, Writer and Philosopher
What is trust?
What is the definition for this very often sensitive, unspoken subject?
The Longman dictionary defines it the following way:


What is time?
Posted in Essays, My Philosophical Essays on December 4th, 2005

What is time?
Often the immediate concept that comes to mind is a clock, watch or a calendar, but what really is time?
This is perhaps a very confused subject and you often hear: “I have no time.”, “Time is money.”, “I need to be on time” and so on.
And for example the Einstein theory of relativity […]


Future of written communication and keyboards
Posted in Future/Sci-Fi on November 27th, 2005

Some days ago I figured about how the future keyboards will work.
Communication has to do with getting an idea across to another person.
While writing e-mails and using instant messaging the faster it goes the better. Actually I believe that e-mails in the future will be even more streamlined, like for example visible instantly on a […]


The Ultimate Ritual
Posted in Short Stories on January 6th, 2005

Aliath felt the wind blowing through his white bear. The cold air made an effect on him even though he was a High-Elf. He was the last person existing who had been around since more than thousand years - almost the beginning of time. He has done everything that could be imagined, seen man performing […]


“Mr. Wilson, you are not supposed to know.”
Posted in Short Stories on January 6th, 2005

I think I should begin by telling you who I am. My name is Freddy Ivanov and I am 17 years old, I think. I am writing this letter as a last communication from the human species, because I am the last human.


Finished my novel one way through, next steps
Posted in About writing on June 26th, 2004

It was long since I wrote my last essay about fiction writing. I have been busy on my duties in the organization I work but I never lost my purpose on the writing.
Some weeks ago I was put on a watch cycle for a few days. In that time I was writing full time for […]


My Dream
Posted in Essays, My Plans, Philosophy on January 29th, 2004

It is in my belief that creation, imagination, future-speculations and demonstrations concerning the deep philosophical questions are a much higher activity of man and I consider it one of his superior virtues.
That field is Science Fiction - and that is why I am a Sci-Fi writer.
If man would spend some more time communicating and being […]


The Curious Robot
Posted in Short Stories on January 14th, 2004

In a far distant future, Earth was inhabited by robots and the quantity of the human race was less than thousand. There were three main classes of robots - Construction, Transport and Repair robots. This is a story of a special repair robot. He was small, new, yellow … and curious.


About Stereotype Fiction Stories
Posted in About writing on January 1st, 2004

I have recently reviewed some “story writing tech”. There were based on the idea that there has to be a quest, then a conflict, good and bad guys, then the good guy is seeming to loose but in the end he makes it go right and wins anyway.
This is complete CRAP.
There is NO set of […]

The Importance of Writing
Posted in About writing on January 1st, 2004

Recently while writing I could see something intereresting. I could see that the important thing was to write. While writing I then got more materials to write and work on and the ideas came to me.
The important thing is to write.


Tools of a Fiction Writer
Posted in About writing on September 6th, 2003

The following is per what I so far have noted to be the tools of a fiction writer:

Time shifts
This is a common one. For example a new chapter starts one month later on the story. It can also be indirectly or directly communicated.
Point of view shifts
For example it is first from the viewpoint of Joe […]


Entertainment Games
Posted in Essays on August 27th, 2003

I thought about writing an essay on entertainment games and here it comes.
By entertainment games I mean card games, board games, computer games and role games, which are the different types of games I know of.
I have always been interesting in games and have been playing a lot in my life all the various types […]


How to get ideas to write
Posted in About writing on June 21st, 2003

While writing fiction I found out that for me 80% of the work is done in the mind. As I also have a pretty hard time to find any time to write at all the writing time becomes something golden. As for me it can take 2-3 weeks before I have any possible to write […]


The Intergalactic Rebel Troop Leader
Posted in Short Stories on May 10th, 2003

The new pilot of the Intergalactic Rebel Troop was desperate to find his leader. They had lost each other as he had made a mistake on the strategic defence operation Alpha 17 by having gone to wrong location. He had misunderstood the mission orders which had brought him in confusion - something he realized when […]


The Vision
Posted in Short Stories on May 9th, 2003

Ken McLeod was rocking with the chair daydreaming. Algebra was boring for him, too easy.
“Ken! Don’t rock with the chair!” Said Miss Lansteiner.
Ken made himself to sit properly and looked at the black board. Too simple for him.
Miss Lansteiner was a hard teacher and he didn’t like her.
Ken glanced over the other students who were […]
