About the author

The Man Behind the Story

Rasoul Sadeghi Hardangi was born and raised in Iran. An early fascination with computers became a quiet window onto the world outside. Long before he knew what leaving would cost, he knew he wanted a different future.

That search took him first to London. He lived there, worked there, and learned what it feels like to build a life in a city that does not yet know your name.
