“We will not be defined by their insults. We will define ourselves! We are not ‘fat.’ That is their word, a word of shame. We are… we are men of substance! We are generously built! We are… We are Beautifully Big Boned!”

Hosam Zidan is an Architect and Principal Consultant whose professional work centers on system assurance—auditing complex digital and structural blueprints to identify points of failure and establish a single, uncorrupted Source of Truth.
This meticulous, investigative focus on integrity is the foundation of his fiction.
Hosam's novels, including the serialized thriller The Persephone Files, are an urgent extension of that analysis. He explores the catastrophic possibilities that emerge when the systemic flaws in global politics, corporate architecture, and environmental planning are not accidental, but intentional.
He invites readers to join him in the pursuit of the ultimate conflict: exposing the terrifying resilience of the machine and the hidden architecture of collapse.
Hosam is the author of the non-fiction book, Rethinking Sustainable Living, and his complete body of work spans multiple genres, from speculative history to science fiction.
