Nokian nuoriso-ohjaaja

A successful young single father who runs Nokia's emotions unit wakes up one night in Berlin to find a woman's head, cut off, rolling over his floor. A muddled ghost of a woman roams the city trying to take on a body again so she can be with her lover, and his little girl, four years old, is quite at ease with spirits. A second story goes back to 1654, when a girl from Åland is about to be put to death in New Sweden, the Swedish colony on the Delaware. The book mocks mobile-phone culture, in which constant electronic chatter cuts people off from one another and endless content says nothing, and it is also an eerie tale of what love can lead to.
