Description
Using Life by Ahmed Naji is a novel that explores the intersection of politics and urban planning in modern-day Cairo. Set against the backdrop of a secret society with far-reaching influence, the story follows Bassam Bahgat as he becomes embroiled in a mysterious plot to reshape the city. The Society of Urbanists, a shadowy organization with centuries-long roots, manipulates urban architecture to shape global events and ideologies. As Bassam delves deeper into their world, he uncovers a sinister plan to wipe out Cairo and rebuild anew. A unique blend of text and black-and-white illustrations brings this gripping narrative to life, offering a thought-provoking exploration of power, control, and the impact of human decisions on our cities.
