Résumé

In a city that never sleeps-and never stops eating-comfort is the new revolution. Mohamed Morsi is tired of apologizing. A lawyer of immense substance and even greater ambition, he has spent a lifetime squeezing into narrow bus seats and enduring the judgment of the "slim elite." Enough is enough. Morsi launches the "Beautifully Big Boned" (BBB) movement, a populist crusade declaring that health is subjective, comfort is a civil right, and the "barbaric simplicity" of fresh vegetables is an insult to Egyptian abundance.
Standing against this tidal wave of butter-soaked rhetoric is Dr. Mayar Medhat. From her quiet, antiseptic clinic, she wages a lonely war against the "plastic-wrapped poison" of the ultra-processed food industry. But she is fighting a losing battle. In Morsi's New Cairo, medical diagnoses are branded as hate speech, science is dismissed as negativity, and corporate giants like Nile Foods are ready to bankroll the nation's denial.
As the city reshapes its laws, its furniture, and its waistlines to fit Morsi's vision, the two adversaries are set on a collision course. Morsi demands validation; Mayar demands survival. But when the true price of indulgence finally comes due, it may be too heavy for either of them to carry. For readers who appreciate a biting social satire, atmospheric complexity, and corporate absurdity.
Hosam A. Zidan is an architect turned novelist who spent two decades shaping the built world. Now he writes about the forces that threaten it. His background in large-scale construction and architectural engineering gives him an unusual vantage point-one built on systems thinking, material logic, and a close understanding of how environments hold together and how they fail. That technical discipline carries directly into his fiction.
He writes across eco-thrillers, speculative history, and science fiction, always through the structural lens of an architect. His stories explore humanity's fragile relationship with space, climate, and power, treating the built environment not as a backdrop but as an active, volatile character. His work, regardless of genre, is driven by a consistent focus: environmental limits, corporate responsibility, and the unseen machinery that shapes the spaces we inhabit.
