Natalia Shafa is a Persian-American-Australian speculative fiction author and solar punk game developer.
Her first novel, Descendants of Power was published in 2021 and became an Amazon Bestseller. Her second novel, I Repeat Myself, will be released late 2025. Her third novel, Samsara Inc., is coming soon.
She is the co-founder of the solar punk game, Descendants of Earth, a multiplayer environmental mobile game driven by real ecological action, which was funded by VicScreen.
Her work often reflects themes of human (and not so human) growth, exploring the process by which the ugliest manifestations of society become the compost to grow our most beautiful fruits.
In her spare time she boulders, swims in the beautiful Australian ocean, and has long and deeply complex philosophical conversations with her greyhound—all through unblinking eye-contact, naturally.
