Über meine Bibliothek

A compact “Library of Borea”. Very non-exhaustive of my total reading or ownership, but inspiring & representative enough.

Borea = my vision & understanding of the wider Scandinavian North as an amphibious counter-empire. Half [myth + history], half [SF + credible future].

Worldbuilding & Simulations - across all speculative-fiction universes, from high fantasy to SF.

The Medieval North - most broadly conceived thematically, ie viewed through rigorous, up-to-date scholarship as well as through myth, fantasy & modern geek culture. Also broadly conceived geographically. Yet always with Norse Scandinavia as its inner temporal & spatial heartland.

Nordic, N Atlantic, Baltic - aka the wider North, or greater Borea. Any & all periods here.

The Long Enlightenment c1651-1918. Enlightenment Europe - industrial, scientific, political - as “Long” as it's at all conceivable to stretch it. Beginning it here very early, say near mid-1600s, & ending it just as late, in a 2nd Industrial Age which recedes only with World War I & (temporarily) lost illusions about human progress.

Ocean Dominion & Military Deployment. Or how to build, defend, & grow true amphibious preeminence - ideally also across the “new ocean” of outer space.

Elements of Space-Ready Industry. How to develop a spacefaring economy & society, viewing the whole as a Total (neo)Industrial System. A selected micro-library on technology, space, & some complex organisation techniques useful to a new industrial age.

Crime, Spy, Assassin. Little in this world is what it claims to be - those who know do not speak, & conversely - so the man of resolve schools himself to take this fact of life into account.
