Tim Ström

Timothy Erik Ström is an independent writer based in Melbourne, Australia who uses political and philosophical approaches to research the overlapping realms of technology, ecology, colonialism and capitalism.

Tim is an editor at the radical publishing cooperative Arena and is the author of the book Globalization and Surveillance, and of the forthcoming book Cybernetic Capitalism, commissioned by Verso. He is currently employed as a post-doctoral research fellow at Western Sydney University, where he works on a project about the social meanings of the extinction crisis. His writings have been published in many journals, books and publications (as this website outlines). He has worked for several universities, in various capacities, as his ORCID page.

Other than this, Tim is a dedicated father and is extremely enthusiastic about music, regularly attending a wide range of gigs, jams and spending too much money on equipment as part of his electric bass rig.
