★ FEATURE
Biography
Yudhanjaya Wijeratne is a Sri Lankan science fiction author, activist and researcher classified among a new wave of South Asian speculative writers. Born November 1992, he writes at the intersection of technology and society—his novel The Salvage Crew earned recognition as one of 2020's best science fiction and fantasy works. His essays and fiction have been published in Wired, Foreign Policy and Slate, reaching audiences far beyond South Asia. Beyond fiction, Wijeratne co-founded Watchdog, a fact-checking organization designed to counter state propaganda and misinformation in his home country. He holds a Nebula Award nomination, making him only the second Sri Lankan writer to achieve this honor since Arthur C. Clarke. In 2021, Forbes selected him as one of 30 under 30, recognizing his influence as both creative voice and public intellectual. As a Sagittarius born in late November, his work reflects the sign's characteristic drive to explore distant ideas and challenge received wisdom. Writers across genres produce novels, essays, journalism and criticism that shape public discourse; Wijeratne's dual commitment to speculative fiction and fact-checking reflects a belief that both imaginative and investigative work matter.
