S B Divya



S.B. Divya is a lover of science, math, fiction, and the Oxford comma. She enjoys subverting expectations and breaking stereotypes whenever she can.

At present, her jobs include writing, engineering, and being the family calendar keeper. She is a lapsed physics major who holds degrees in Computational Neuroscience and Signal Processing.

Her short fiction has appeared in Daily Science Fiction and Nature. Her first standalone book is Runtime, a novella.

The Ten-Percent Thief (2023)
Lavanya Lakshminarayan
"In the best tradition of dystopian fiction, Analog/Virtual explores issues about class, society, power structures and values. Lavanya Lakshminarayan has skilfully crafted a series of interwoven stories about a frighteningly plausible near future scenario, rooted in the extrapolation of today's worship of technology and productivity. Spanning multiple points of view, writing styles and character voices, this masterful work of science fiction weaves its individual stories into a complex and engaging whole."

Station Eternity (2022)
(Midsolar Murders, book 1)
Mur Lafferty
"Mur Lafferty is turning into science fiction's Agatha Christie, with her mastery of ensemble casts and deft characterizations. Station Eternity builds a whole new universe of alien civilizations and wraps it all in an engaging mystery. This fun, fast-paced novel is sure to please fans of both Six Wakes and Solo."

Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters (2021)
Aimee Ogden
"A feast of worldbuilding and creativity fills this novella, which explores the ways in which tribalism and bias can affect human culture, even though humanity has mastered its own genetic destiny. Aimee Ogden crafts powerful imagery and themes that linger in your thoughts long after you read the last word."
