Imran Cooper

Imran Cooper writes memoir and civilizational nonfiction from the inside out. Kentucky-raised, twice-dead before he started kindergarten, he has run political campaigns, founded a research foundation, bought and run a restaurant, and now builds AI systems for small businesses. His books trace a single argument across multiple registers: that the things we keep forgetting, we are choosing to forget.
