Ahmet Riza Korkut

Ahmet Riza Korkut is a multi-talented artist whose journey began on the theatre stage in his childhood. Born in Amasya, Turkey, his passion for literature quickly earned him national recognition with award-winning stories and essays even before finishing middle school. An accomplished poet, his second poetry collection, "Aşkın Elif Hali," became a bestseller in its year of publication. Korkut's creative drive extends beyond the written word; he has written, directed, and acted in his own short films, and is known for his unique stage performances that blend poetry with music. His deep interest in the intersection of art and technology is evident in his YouTube channel, "Gelecek Şimdi" (The Future is Now), where he shares his insights on the tech world. For Korkut, writing is not just a profession but a calling. "Writing is destiny for some people," he states. "I am compelled to write, this is my destiny." "The Mnemosyne Strain" is his latest work, where he masterfully combines his diverse experiences to explore the deep philosophical questions of memory, humanity, and existence.
