G K Menon

G. K. Menon writes speculative fiction at the intersection of science, philosophy, and civilizational ethics. His work explores how intelligence-human and artificial-shapes power, restraint, and the long-term survival of societies

Drawing on a lifelong engagement with history, technology, and philosophical inquiry, Menon is particularly interested in moments where progress outpaces wisdom, and where advanced systems expose the moral assumptions hidden beneath human ambition. His narratives favor depth over spectacle, posing difficult questions rather than offering easy resolutions.

The Starforge Protocol marks his entry into long-form science fiction, inaugurating The Cognition Series-a cycle of novels examining judgment, responsibility, and the limits of power in a universe where survival is no longer guaranteed by intelligence alone.

G. K. Menon lives in India and continues to write fiction that challenges readers to think not only about the future we are building, but about whether we are prepared to live with it.
