FATAMORGANA

Sarah Majdov is a writer, a technologist in theory, a Nothing Person in practice, and a mother of two daughters. She spent years in tech and finance searching first for meaningful work, then for simply real work, and finally for any work that produced something. Early on, she found some. Later, there was Nothing—hence the term.

Before all that, she lived seven years in a refugee camp—and, for the most part, liked it there. Maybe it was nature itself, or maybe proof that we are all beasts. The camp was perched in a national park, where survival and beauty blurred until they became the same thing.

Fatamorgana is her first book.

She has degrees up to and including a master’s—if that still matters. After reading the book, it might matter less.

She lives in Missouri with her husband and daughters.
