Lavanya Lakshminarayan

Lavanya Lakshminarayan is an Indian speculative fiction writer best known for her razor-sharp explorations of technology, society, and power. Her debut novel, "The Ten Percent Thief", a mosaic of interconnected stories set in a ruthlessly stratified near-future city, earned widespread critical acclaim and established her as a bold new voice in science fiction. She is also the author of "Intergalactic Feast", a delightful foray into food and the cosmos. Lakshminarayan brings a vibrant, distinctly South Asian perspective to her genre-bending work, weaving together intricate world-building with deeply human characters to challenge readers' assumptions about progress and belonging.
