A life of ideas.
A world of
stories.
I’m Ilia Sheludiakov. I write about time, human nature, and the choices that shape a life.

A READER FIRST. ALWAYS.01 / ABOUT
Taking
the long view.
An investor’s perspective.
A writer’s curiosity.
Based in Dubai, I work across investing, nonfiction and fiction. Each begins with a similar question: what will matter when we look back?
My path into writing grew from a personal interest in change — how small decisions, repeated over time, shape who we become. Those ideas became Temporalism: Make Time Your Ally, my first book in English.
Through short stories, essays and conversations, I explore the less measurable parts of life: memory, longing, relationships, and the things we leave unsaid.
