S. B. Divya

Her debut novel, Machinehood, was published in 2021 by Saga Press, and received both high praise, with one reviewer describing it as upgrading Asimov's laws of robotics,[6] but also criticism for not going far enough in its exploration of ideas.

[7][8] Divya's second full-length novel, Meru, was published in 2023, and has been described both as surprisingly optimistic about the fate of humanity[9] and as an epic sci-fi in a unique world.

Divya’s debut novella, Runtime, is about a gruelling race across the Sierra Nevada among those equipped with exoskeletal and internal human enhancements.

As Ray Kurzweil notes in his review of the book, “From the opening manifesto to its ingenious technologies, Machinehood builds an inspiring and believable vision of the future that is both thought-provoking and hopeful.

It will leave you wishing that tomorrow could arrive a little sooner.”[17] Prior to becoming a full time writer, Divya worked as a signal processing engineer and data scientist for several years.
