Alp Egan

Alp Egan writes near-future fiction about artificial intelligence, ecological collapse, memory, and the systems humans build to avoid looking directly at themselves.

The Survival Index is his first novel.

The book grew from a single question: what would a genuinely intelligent system — one with access to all the data — actually conclude about humanity's long-term viability? The answer was harder to argue with than expected. The moral reckoning that followed became the novel.

His fiction sits at the intersection of the near-future thriller and the literary novel: driven by character, grounded in real science, and interested in the moral weight of systems that work exactly as intended.

He lives in Cork, Ireland, with his family.
