Dr. Sunil Shankar holds dual doctorates in cognitive studies and evolutionary anthropology, though he insists the two are merely different dialects of the same language.
Born in India, he has lectured on three continents and misplaced passports on two. His work travels freely between science, story, and speculation — where empirical rigor meets the metaphysics of dust and rumor.
His eBook, The Postmaster’s Dilemma is his most improbable experiment yet: a quantum thought experiment disguised as a parable about mail, meaning, and the limits of knowing.
He is also the author of The Office Pawn, Consent Form, The Provisional Report, Hush!, The Bounding Box, and The Retina of Kuttichethan, among others.
Many think tanks and scholarly institutions have had the frequent headache of knowing him.
His conversations while erudite, total into an odyssey, where science, literature, and jocularity converge.
His travels assist in his absorbing cultures and philosophies. Whether debating the finer points of ancient Greek philosophy in Seattle, exploring the bustling minds of Europeans in Port Louis, the cognitive marketplaces of the South and Middle East, or debating all things germane in Frankfurt, his curiosity knows no bounds.
He has no filter.
His aspirations are lofty. He visualizes a future where knowledge is democratized, where libraries spring forth like oases in the desert. His fondness for publishing fiction, of sharing his narratives with the world, is not merely an ambition but a calling, a thesis of his unwavering belief in the power of the written word to inspire.
To know him is to embark on a journey of discovery, where each conversation is a new adventure, each insight a revelation. And if you ever have the chance to engage with him, be prepared to have your mind both expanded and muddled, your wit both sharpened and dulled, for there is no encounter quite like one with him.
