Jan Söderqvist is a writer, lecturer, TV producer, editor and columnist.

He is the author (with Alexander Bard) of the international bestseller “Netocracy - The New Power Elite And Life After Capitalism”.
Merging Nietzsche and Darwin with French poststructuralists and cybernetics, "Netocracy" was Number 1 for four consecutive months in the Swedish non-fiction bestseller list before being picked up by Reuters/Pearson in London in 2001 for international release. There has since been more than a dozen translations of "Netocracy" published worldwide.

A second book, also co-written with Alexander Bard, and titled "The Global Empire", deals with the political ramifications of the current information technology revolution. Already a major hit in Sweden, this second book is currently in translation to English.

After studying film in Los Angeles in the early 1980s Jan earned a BA in literature and philosophy and worked in every media area imaginable. He has edited a number of prestigious magazines, most recently Axess, and as a writer he has covered everything from men’s fashions and cooking trends to the Asian crisis of the 90s to the revolution in info-technology. He is the film critic of the Swedish Daily Svenska Dagbladet and lectures frequently all over the world on trends in media, politics, culture and economics. Jan Söderqvist lives with his wife and two daughters in central Stockholm, Sweden, and he is currently at work on his third book.
