Ivan Ashcroft

Ivan Ashcroft is the literary voice of a French financial strategist who brings together over fifteen years of experience in international finance and fifteen years of volunteer service with the Red Cross. A seasoned analyst of risk flows and power dynamics, he sharpened his critical eye through encounters that exposed the fragile truth of life and the quiet resilience of the human spirit—where dignity survives amid chaos. A brief and discreet chapter as a reserve officer in the French Navy added yet another lens—offering a firsthand look at institutional structures and the human complexities behind discipline and command.

Curious and methodical, he blends financial discipline with a deeply humanist sensitivity. Captivated by the ethics of impossible choices, he explores the psychological impact of algorithms on our lives. Diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, he channels his hyperfocus into a narrative engine—pushing every detail to its limits to craft disturbingly believable worlds.

For Ashcroft, science fiction is first and foremost a mirror held up to our contradictions. Beneath this pseudonym, he invites each reader to confront their own paradoxes—and ultimately, transcend them.
