Hedayat Abedijoo

Hedayat the Second is the pen name of Hedayat Abedijoo, a Cologne-based writer of Iranian background who comes to fiction from software and technology. Abedijoo developed ACE (Agency, Connection, Exchange), a decision-making model that took shape in 2021 and that the author came to see as a form of social therapy. ACE.await grew out of that model and an earlier, unfinished metafictional novel about writers within writers.
