Ketan Shukla
Ketan Shukla is a writer and lifelong learner with a deep passion for critical thinking, rational analysis, and evidence-based understanding. His curiosity spans philosophy, the experience of life, and the quiet discipline of seeing reality as it actually is.
The Reality Without Belief series is a groundbreaking five-book journey that dismantles the unexamined reverence for belief, faces reality directly, exposes cultural conviction, develops the practice of clear seeing, and arrives at the quiet freedom of having nothing left to defend.
When he’s not writing non-fiction, Ketan writes fiction and explores the ideas that fascinate him. You can find his other work at Aztec Samurai Adventures and The Repetition Series. He believes the best writing — fiction or non-fiction — comes from genuine curiosity and the willingness to sit with a problem until it teaches you something.
“For every reader who ever dared to set belief aside and face what is actually so.”
