Ivar Halstrom

Ivar Halstrom writes near-future survival fiction about people operating machinery at the edge of what machinery can do. The books are researched to the point of stubbornness: real instruments, real logistics, real law, and one clean speculative idea followed honestly to wherever it goes. They tend to be about communication under a hard bandwidth limit: what can be said, what it costs to say it, and who is still listening. The Oxygen Wound is the first of them.
