Light from Darkness

About this book

Nour grows up in a Cairo neighborhood where ambition is treated as a luxury and difference as a threat. Carrying an old notebook and an unprecedented scientific idea, she dreams of an artificial-intelligence technology capable of treating serious diseases without pain. Emotional disappointment, social expectations, and closed doors repeatedly test her resolve. From Cairo to research institutes in Berlin and Munich, Zeinab Ismail follows a woman who replaces fear with invention and discovers that the most durable light is generated within.
