The Hindu religion has three gods who are responsible for the creation, upkeep and destruction of the world. Brahma is the creator of the universe while Vishnu is the preserver of it. Shiva's role is to destroy the universe.

But let's skip the small talk. This is a novel of destruction. There is no justification for it. Trees fall over in the forest. Books like these get written.

Too bad.

Part I, Denmark (2005-2008), from software to scripture.

Actually, some of the software comes in quite handy later. I join the totally unknown Swedenborgian denomination called the New Church. This is a Christian church.

Yeah, hard to believe. But that's what happens.

And all the while there is this CIA guy in the background, asking me to tell him if I notice anything suspicious.

Part II, America (2008-2011), from belief to unbelief.

I like America, a lot. But then I say to my professors: so let me get this straight, you want me to believe this when you don't even believe it yourself? I study theology, get a Masters. I have the paper to prove it.

I get kind of popular with the CIA people when I find a briefcase with New Church bank codes.

Part III, Sweden (2011-2014), from unbelief to unpleasantness.

So this is where the software makes a come-back. And by Shiva, the shit hits the fan.
