"For some, writing is destiny. I must write, for this is my destiny."
A Versatile Artist
Born in Amasya, Turkey, Ahmet Rıza Korkut began his artistic journey on the theater stage during his childhood. His passion for literature blossomed early, earning national awards for his writing while still in middle school. As a versatile artist with a background in both education and public relations, Korkut's work spans multiple disciplines.
He began his career with celebrated poetry books like "Avucumda Sevda Var" and the bestseller "Aşkın Elif Hali." Recently, he has ventured into science fiction, reaching an international audience with his latest novel, "The Mnemosyne Strain."
In addition to his literary work, Korkut directs short films, performs his poetry on national television, and explores the world of technology on his YouTube channel, "Gelecek Şimdi" (The Future is Now), truly embodying the spirit of a modern renaissance man.
The Mnemosyne Strain
What if your most beautiful memory was a poison? In the last bastion of civilization, The Library, people can relive the past... but they never come back. For Linnea, a Memory Gardener, this utopia is a lie and salvation is a trap. When she uncovers a conspiracy that goes to the very heart of the Library, she must decide if exposing the truth is worth destroying humanity's final hope.
