Prolific Egyptian science fiction writer Ahmed Khaled Tawfik was celebrated with a Google Doodle yesterday, on what would have been his 57th birthday. Tawfik wrote over 500 books before his death in 2018, including the bestselling horror series Ma Waraa Al Tabiaa, which Netflix is adapting as its third Arabic original series. Google’s tribute to Tawfik was picked up widely in both the local and foreign press.
