ⓘ About Yudhanjaya Wijeratne

Yudhanjaya Wijeratne is a Sri Lankan author, researcher, and activist. He was born in November 1992 in Sri Lanka and is part of the newest generation of science fiction writers from south Asia. When he found The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, it inspired him to write “the Waste”, a 130,000-word story that was set in a world partly tech and partly magic. Yudhanjaya taught himself programming once he graduated and even worked in game development for some time on a project that would be set in the future, but not too far off. The project did not go anywhere, and the author transitioned to working as a tech journalist. He also founded the tech news website Readme.lk, a Sri Lankan site of which he was the editor. He would also join the middleware corporation WSO2 in 2015.
