My name is Diego F. I am a writer, an advanced mathematics student, and a tradesman accustomed to a survival economy. My daily life unfolds in Venado Tuerto, inside a tin-roofed room where the rules of the street and economic urgency dictate the rhythm of things. I didn’t end up on the margins out of some romantic quest for poverty or a bohemian lifestyle, but through the simple gravity of material collapse.
Over time, I found myself simultaneously inhabiting two worlds that rarely speak to each other: the rawness of the alleyways where the State only shows up to punish, and the cold, perfect, and decisive abstraction of linear algebra and differential calculus.
My writing is born from that collision of realities.
The Project: Zero Obedience
This site is not a space for cheap morality, nor does it seek to be the voice of the voiceless. It isn’t an attempt to save anyone, either. Zero Obedience is, fundamentally, an analytical and literary base of operations.
It stems from the need to document the mechanics of marginality and the penal system, dodging the usual clichés. To achieve this, I cross urban chronicles with exact science. I use tools like topology, Markov chains, and differential calculus to dismantle social problems, because mathematics is the only language free of bias and hypocrisy: it simply exposes how forces operate and where they are heading.
The project brings together my entire literary ecosystem, designed to scale and be translated globally, covering different fronts:
- Essays: Structural analyses of justice, crime, and the social contract (like Path to Prison).
- Narrative: Short novels and stories where the gears of this philosophy are set in motion through fiction.
- Poetry and Zines: The rawest, most aesthetic, and unfiltered distillation of life on the margins.
- Theater: Pure dialogue that exposes the tension of the asphalt in real time.
The goal of this space is simple: to offer literature born in the mud, structured with the rigor of formal logic, and circulating under its own rules. It is a living archive for anyone willing to stare at the gears of the system without looking away.
