Vandana Singh

 

Vandana Singh is an Indian writer of speculative fiction, which includes science fiction and fantasy. She is very much attached to the science fiction genre. The following sentences will prove her love for this genre. She says:

I love this genre (science fiction) for its imaginative richness, its vast canvas, and the sophistication with which its best practitioners wield their pens. Science fiction and fantasy have come a long way from the lurid caricatures of ray-guns and little green men (which, by the way, I still insist on enjoying, for the most part); in fact no other genre asks deeper questions about the human condition or sets up literary thought experiments about our interaction with the physical world, including other worlds and new technologies.
