Peter er flyttet hjem for at støtte sin lokale ishockeyklub efter at have lykkedes med en karriere som professionel ishockeyspiller. Mira står over for valget mellem en advokatkarriere og et stille og roligt liv som hustru og mor. De bor i samme by. Bjørneby. Bjørneby er første roman ud af to om en lille by med store drømme. Det er en fortælling om femtenårige pigers ubrydelige venskaber og syttenårige drenge, der spiller ishockey med byens stolthed på skuldrene. Om sport, lidenskab, familiens bånd og holdånd, men også om hvor let et helt samfund kan vende det blinde øje til, når katastrofen slår ned, og hvor langt vi er villige til at gå for vores børn i kærlighedens navn. Bjørneby er den første roman ud af to om en lille by med store drømme. "Et totalt knockout. Fra halvvejs i bogen og frem til sidste side læste jeg med tårer i øjnene. Jeg på skift grinte, blev ramt og berørt, frustreret og vred. Det er fortalt så overbevisende." - Bloggen Just här - just nu Bind 2 udkommer oktober 2018.

Årets mest uregerlige roman er skrevet af forfatteren til En mand der hedder Ove. Folk med angst er en roman om et gidseldrama, der stikker af og når uden for rækkevidde af al sund fornuft. Gidseltagningen finder sted under et åbent hus-arrangement, hvor en mislykket bankrøver låser sig inde sammen med en overentusiastisk ejendomsmægler, to bitre IKEA-afhængige, en gravid, en selvmorderisk multimillionær og en irriterende kanin. Det ender med, at gidseltageren giver op og sætter alle fri, men da politiet stormer lejligheden, er den … tom. Alle vidnerne fortæller efterfølgende deres version af begivenhederne i en række af usammenhængende vidneforklaringer, der rejser mange spørgsmål, og en klassisk kriminalgåde tager form: Hvordan lykkedes det den mislykkede bankrøver at undslippe fra lejligheden? Hvorfor er alle så vrede? Og: Hvad er der GALT med folk nu til dags?

Medrivende og voldsom afslutning på trilogien om Bjørneby.Dette er en lille historie om de store spørgsmål: Hvad er en familie? Hvad er en ishockeyklub? Hvad er et samfund? Og hvad er vi villige til at ofre for at beskytte dem? Der er gået to år siden alt det, som ingen har lyst til at tænke på, skete. Alle har prøvet at komme videre, men der er noget ved dette sted, som gør det umuligt. Denne gang starter det med en storm, men ender med et opgør. Nogen, som har været væk længe, er på vej hjem. Nogen bliver begravet. Nogen forelsker sig, nogen drømmer om NHL, og nogen drømmer om hævn. Nogen sover ryg mod ryg med deres bedste ven, nogen forsøger at redde deres ægteskab, og nogen forsøger at redde deres børn. Nogen hader, nogen slås, nogen tager et skydevåben og går ned moden ishockeyhal. Det er ikke alt, hvad byen har kæmpet for, der kommer til at overleve, det er ikke alle, som er elsket, der kommer til at blive gamle. Så hvad er en familie? En ishockeyklub? Et samfund? Det er summen af vores valg. Hvad er vi villige til at ofre for at beskytte dem? Alt. Simpelthen alt.

'Brilliant and timely' - Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand WeeksFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and one of the world's top productivity experts, a groundbreaking philosophy for creating great work at a sustainable pace. Hustle culture. Burnout. Quiet quitting. Today we're either sacrificing ourselves on the altar of success or we're rejecting the idea of ambition entirely. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. Coined by Cal Newport, the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on three simple principles:1. Do fewer things. 2. Work at a natural pace. 3. Obsess over quality. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work. From managing your energy according to the season, to identifying which projects to pursue and which to set aside, to building a schedule that yields maximum output with minimum stress, this timely and essential book will revolutionise how you work, helping you to accomplish great things at a more humane pace.

';New Dark Ageis among the most unsettling and illuminating books I've read about the Internet, which is to say that it is among the most unsettling and illuminating books I've read about contemporary life.'New YorkerAs the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: the belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world. In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Meanwhile, those in power use our lack of understanding to further their own interests. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we're living in a new Dark Age. From rogue financial systems to shopping algorithms, from artificial intelligence to state secrecy, we no longer understand how our world is governed or presented to us. The media is filled with unverifiable speculation, much of it generated by anonymous software, while companies dominate their employees through surveillance and the threat of automation. In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems, and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.

Using case studies from some of the world’s largest and most successful companies, Team shows how leaders have employed the principles of team productivity to improve communication, enable effective execution, and reduce stress on team members. These principles are increasingly important in the post-pandemic workplace, where the very nature of how people work together has changed so dramatically.Team is the most significant addition to the GTD canon since the original, and in offering a roadmap for building a culture of healthy high performance, will be welcomed by readers working in any sized group or organization.
