About the author

Hosam Zidan

Hosam A. Zidan is an architect-turned-novelist who spent two decades building the world we live in. Now, he's writing about how it might break.

With over 20 years of experience in high-stakes, large-scale construction and architectural engineering, Hosam possesses an intimate, authoritative knowledge of the systems, materials, and corporate power that shape the built environment. This expertise is the foundation of his writing.

His Fiction—including eco-thrillers, speculative history, and science fiction—examines humanity's fragile relationship with space and place, always viewed through the meticulous, structural eyes of an architect. His stories are ripped not from thin air, but from the blueprints of reality.

His Non-Fiction is dedicated to educating readers on the necessary shift toward sustainability and vernacular wisdom, which he explored in his book, Rethinking Sustainable Living.

Hosam's work across genres is driven by core themes of environmental responsibility and corporate accountability.
