You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarks World Citizens.

I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

This is our fourth story for the month of March 2021 issue 174.

Please go to patreon.com forward slash Clarks World to see how you can help be a part of this

magazine each and every month.

So our story is titled Submergence and it's a long one, locking in at just under 21,000

words.

So I hope you're settled in.

It's titled Submergence and is by Arula Ratnakar.

Arula Ratnakar is a 22 year old scientist, artist and science fiction writer who is currently

studying biology, concentration in neuroscience, minor in architecture at Carnegie Mellon

University.

The writing can be found in Clarks World magazine and her artwork can be found in the

first issue of Dark Matter magazine.

She is autistic and bisexual.

Themes of identity and reality have always interested Arula, particularly as someone who

is the daughter of two immigrants from India and has grown up in the US with many different

cultural influences.

Arula is interested in studying brain simulation science in the future, plans to continue writing

science fiction stories, and hopes to work on science fiction movies someday.
