Shelton Ranasinghe is a professional engineer. The early years of his career he worked in major civil engineering projects in Sri Lanka and Nigeria.

His next effort is a work of science fiction titled "Heaven at SETI's Doorstep".

It sources the results of cutting-edge scientific experiments by leading experts in neuropsychology and employs findings from the author's own experience to correlate them with simple examples from nature, prompting you to seek an answer to the question through scientific and metaphysical inquiry. Shelton’s fascinating hypothesis, explains how the make-up of the brain could be manipulating our conscious p
