Nils Andersson is a real life Professor of Mathematics and a leading authority on Einstein's theory of relativity and extreme astrophysics. At work he worries about black holes, dead stars, white dwarfs and waves of gravity. In his spare time he likes to read - always did, ever since he was little. He continues to be excited by books for younger readers, great stories that inspire developing minds and make the next generation fall in love with books. A house full of books made him wonder what it would be like to write one of his own. So, with a bit of help from his 7-year old daughter, he did. The result is a collection of madcap adventures of Professor Kompressor, an excellent but accident prone inventor. The Professor is a fictional character (certainly not based on the author!) and his adventures are completely made up. Yet, the various episodes draw on ideas from science and the modern world. The aim (if there is one!) is to show that you can have a lot of fun with science and technology, especially if you allow for a bit of creative mis-interpretation.
