Untruth, Untruth
"God has made the law of karma invalid. Will humans survive?
Riseland is the home of magicians, scientists and businessmen. In their constant struggle for power, the kings of Riseland ignore the greatest threat of all time: The Flying City.
Injustice and misinformation are rising everywhere, and no one seems to care. In the middle of this chaos, random forces are rising to settle scores.
Who will triumph? The most powerful Anahata, the most intelligent Shekha, the richest Kakkar, the Hitler-like psychologist Sidawisa, the honest Dhruvraj, the outlawed Triyama or the mysterious scientist Horsley?
Will humans survive? If they do, how?"
The book contains various broad terms from various domains. On one side, it has psychological terms like confirmation bias, illusory truth effect and Guilt trip. On another side, the book contains technical elements including Biometric Gait Authentication, Artificial Intelligent System based on behavioural analytics and the like. Insane fantasy elements, from Elephantragon, a hybrid of elephant and dragon, to Magic Hole, a magical equivalent of Black Hole, exist to create a whirlwind in the reader's mind.
And of course, the Flying City and page-turning suspense keep the reader guessing.

June 12, 2019How does a book taste to the reader’s mind when it has an ingredient of four different genres – philosophy, spirituality, sci-fi, and fantasy.
And the answer is that it can either make the book or it breaks, in this case, the book Untruth Untruth by Abhishek Verma has mightily impressed me.
The book is a beautiful amalgamation of Sci-Fi, philosophy, spirituality, and fantasy. It never once failed to impress me.
The book centers around one question. Is karma an integral part of humanity. And can humans still survive without Karma?
The book raises many questions and also manages to answers them as you progress further.
One can see that the authors had done a thorough research in the book: The Story, the backstories of many characters, everything that makes this book worth reading is properly thought off and put in the book.
Author Abhishek is a good storyteller and one can see this in his narratives. It’s smooth like a flowing river connecting layers smoothly into an engaging read.
The language, though is a bit patchy. A little more work on the language was needed.
The worst thing about the book is its daunting size. A Hundred fewer pages and this book could have been an amazing read.
Certain things went against the book:
1. The size of the book
2. Language
3. And too many characters.
In the beginning, the pace of the story kind of felt slow. Maybe because of its characters buildup. But as I plowed on further into the story, it took a much faster pace.
The book left me speechless. At every turn of the page, I had to remind myself to breathe.
As you near the end, the story grips you into its clutches. And you’d want to know what’s going to happen next. Characters in the book are quite impressive. But memorizing too many characters becomes a daunting task.
But nevermind us readers because when it comes to reading, we can cross many hurdles in a book.
Do I recommend this book?
Yes, Yes and Yes. If you don’t mind reading big books, then this book is for yours. A perfect travel companion for a long trip. This book “Untruth, Untruth”, won’t fail to impress you.
My Rating: 4/5 stars
