Alexander Bard - Literature and Lecturing

Literature and Lecturing

Bard has written three books on the internet revolution, collectively known as The Futurica Trilogy, together with media theorist Jan Söderqvist. Their first collaboration The Netocrats was originally released in Swedish in 2000, became available in English in 2003, and has since been translated to a further 16 languages with total worldwide sales exceeding 340,000 copies. The second book The Global Empire was originally released in Swedish in 2003, while the third installment of the trilogy The Body Machines was originally published in Swedish in 2009. These latter two works were released in English in 2012, completing The Futurica Trilogy, in which the authors present their philosophical vision for a global and increasingly virtual society, as a consequence of the interactive revolution.

Bard has given public lectures since 1996, often with a focus on the social implications of the internet revolution, and has become one of the leading speakers on the international management theory lecturing circuit. He is a regular speaker at the Institute for Corporate Leadership at the Stockholm School of Economics.
