Arash Gilan

Arash Gilan was born in the Kurdish part of Iran and came to Sweden as a child. He is an author and entrepreneur, and one of Sweden's leading voices on what happens to people in an age of machines. He builds AI every day. He writes about everything it cannot measure. His fifth book, 404: Människan saknas (404: Human Not Found), was written partly from a hospital bed and sold out its first edition in two months. He often wrote it with a guitar in his lap, and the words wanted to be sung. So he called composer Jonatan Järpehag. Together they turned the book into a record. Words and music on one side. On the other, the room after the words. Aperio ergo sum. I open, therefore I am.
