Alp Egan

Alp Egan spent years in healthcare, around the quiet moments when a system decides who gets help — and noticed how rarely anyone writes down why. He carried that noticing home with him for a long time before he understood it was a story.

It became The Survival Index, Book One of The Measured World — an expanding series about the people systems forget to name. The second book, The Unmeasured, arrives in November 2026 and tells the same weeks from the other side of the wall; the two can be read in either order.

He lives in Cork, Ireland, with his family, within walking distance of the river that flows through his first novel. He reads more speculative fiction than his shelves can hold, follows advances in AI and medicine with equal parts fascination and unease, and remains convinced that the most important questions are the ones nobody thinks to ask until it's too late.
