The Wretched and the Damned
A group of superpowered malcontents take down the corrupt, nepotistic government of Sri Lanka.
I'm a storyteller, itinerant gardener, occasional programmer - and an eternal amateur. Welcome to my portfolio and digital garden.
I've written novels and short stories, some of which have won awards, been bestsellers, or been optioned for adaptation. At other points, I've been a journalist, a data scientist, a policy researcher; I've built one of Sri Lanka's best factchecking and journalism operations, exited startups, and written software for fun and profit.
Because of this varied nature, I'll have a few very different things lying around here, like a bunch of half-organized LEGOs. Every year I'll come back and try to make sense of it all; an ongoing optimization ex nihilo, ad nihilo. Drop me a line if you want to chat about any of it.
My stories have won the Gratiean Prize, been nominated for the Nebula and Independent Games Festival awards, appeared in venues like Wired, ForeignPolicy and Slate, and been Washington Post and Audible bestsellers. These are my biggest, publicly accessible works.
