Per Axbom ♥

Hey friend,

I'm Per Axbom, an old-school computer geek with a close eye on human rights, compassion and ethics in a networked world. I publish essays, guides, and graphics to help recognize, minimize and prevent harms in the tech sphere and its borderlands. And I highlight more good-hearted ways of working and acting.

Born in Liberia to Swedish parents, my childhood unfolded in Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. After more than twenty house moves I finally landed in Stockholm. My early exposure to different cultures, perspectives, dreams and struggles has played a big role in my efforts to help more people see and treat others with kindness.

• Kindness is absent from deceptive innovation that sidesteps regulation.
• Compassion is missing from artificial urgency that is claimed to be inevitable.

As I resist and push back on abusive actors, my power source is you, fellow being. Your voice. Your feedback. Your story. When you reveal what's broken I can explore, map and teach ways of addressing it. I can offer robust, accessible explanations.

Writing is my first love, and a sketchpad is my weapon of choice in a duel. It brings me joy to use my skills in communication and design to be of service to others.

Since 2024 I have a mechanical heart valve and human-machine interplay has become even more personal. Say hi, and let me know how I can be of help.
