Who is Karl?

Karl P.J. Hobbes is a daydreamer and writer based out of London, UK. Karl enjoys long walks in the rain and searching for the meaning of life.

Named after an imaginary tiger and an inspirational thinker, he is a bit of both. Sometimes thoughtful - he tries like everybody else to be present in the moment but fails forward.

The Adventures of Space and Time is Karl’s first independently published work. The idea for this book came to Karl one day when he was thinking about the perfect gift for his hypothetical grandchildren.
