Infinity: The Cycle of Civilization

Rate this book
यह कहानी है ग्रैडिअस नाम के एक ऐसे ग्रह की जो हमारी ही दुनिया के समरूप है, जहाँ वे इंसान हैं जिनकी पहचान कैथियंस के रूप में होती है। वे हमारे जैसे न हो कर भी हमारे ही जैसे हैं। उनकी दुनिया में भी धर्म और विज्ञान का सतत वैचारिक संघर्ष है। उनकी भी ठीक पृथ्वी जैसी ही मत मान्यतायें हैं... कि यह दुनिया, यह यूनिवर्सल सिस्टम किसी बेंडौरह या एलाह जैसी ईश्वरीय शक्ति ने बनाया है और उसने क्रिस्टोफर और एडविना के रूप में दो कैथियंस ग्रैडिअस पर भेजे थे जिनसे समस्त कैथियंस का जन्म हुआ।

लोग उसी ईश्वरीय शक्ति की इच्छानुसार कर्म करने पर मजबूर हैं लेकिन उसने अच्छाई और बुराई चुनने की छूट दे रखी है और उसी आधार पर कयामत के दिन सबका फैसला करके उन्हें हैवियन यानि स्वर्ग का सुख या शुबूगा यानि नर्क की सजा दी जायेगी। उनके बीच भी अलग-अलग धर्म हैं जैसे इस्लाम के समकक्ष फरायम, हिंदुत्व के समकक्ष वेयराइज्म, क्रिशचैनिटी के समकक्ष निब्रसिज्म या बुद्ध, महावीर, मुहम्मद, ईसा, मूसा, इब्राहीम, नूह के समकक्ष वूडो, वांगटी, थास्बट, बबूसा, रूजा, माइल, लूआ जैसे पैगम्बर और एलाह, बैंडोरह जैसे अलग-अलग मान्यताओं में अलग-अलग संबोधन वाला ईश्वर।

उनमें हममें एक फर्क है कि हम अभी विकास से विनाश की ओर अग्रसर अपने अंत तक पहुंचने के सफर में हैं और वे हमसे कई सौ साल आगे उस प्वाइंट तक पहुंच चुके हैं जहाँ उन्होंने तरक्की तो बहुत कर ली है लेकिन ठीक इंसानी तर्ज़ पर विकास और तकनीक की भूख के चलते अपनी खूबसूरत दुनिया को विनाश की कगार पर पहुंचा दिया है और अब ग्रैडिअस पर कैथियंस के सर्वाइवल की कोई कंडीशन नहीं बची और वे किसी नये ठिकाने की तलाश में हैं।

Some talents are often said to be innate. When I look at the writing ability I have carried within me, I think it would not be entirely wrong to say that this, too, was something I was born with. Even while I was still in school, my imagination had developed to the point where I had begun creating and writing my own stories.

I still remember when I finished sixth grade and entered seventh. I took the unused blank pages left in my old school notebooks, put them together to make a new notebook, and wrote my first story in it. Naturally, I had no real understanding of how a story should be written at that age, so it was filled with mistakes. But that hardly mattered to me. I had written a story of my own while still so young— and that, in itself, felt like something worth celebrating.

Then came the years when most children my age were busy playing, having fun, and discovering the world of romance, while I spent most of my time either reading books or writing. Libraries were still a part of everyday life in those days, and the library in our neighborhood had hardly a book, comic, or magazine that escaped my attention.

I kept writing just as passionately. During those years, I wrote countless novels, short stories, film scripts, songs, and probably a little of everything else. But life eventually became a struggle of its own, and I became so caught up in it that none of those early writings ever made it into the public eye. Not a single one of them was published at the time.

Now, after making my way through those years and all the complications that came with them, I have begun a new chapter of my life as a writer. I may be reasonably good at a few other things, but writing— that is my life. Perhaps I was born to write.

For the past several years, I have done little more than write, and I have now written more than seventy books, published in both Hindi and English. For me, writing is no longer simply a hobby or a profession; it is a part of who I am— a part of my life without which I would perhaps never feel entirely complete.

मैंने ज्यादातर रोमांटिक नोवेल्स और धार्मिक किताबें ही पढ़ी हैं, यह पहली किताब है जो मैंने लीक से हैट कर पढ़ी है और पढ़ कर दिमाग चक्र गया है.. समझ में नहीं आ रहा कि इस पर क्या राय दूँ, किताब तो नो डाउट बहुत अच्छी है लेकिन हर किस्म के धार्मिक इंसान के विश्वास पर गहरी चोट करती है, इस हद तक कि हर पढ़ने वाला सोचने पर मजबूर हो जाये, कि हम जो बिलीफ पकडे हुए हैं, वे वाकई में सही हैं या हम पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी गलत रास्ते पर बढ़ रहे हैं।

For the first time we read something different, both the characters who talk among themselves, we get a lot that we either do not know or have never noticed before, but from their conversation we came to a conclusion So, what can be the implications of the descent of human beings, is it really happening to us that this story is not happening to us?

आज पहली बार गुडरीड्स पर आये हैं तो देख रहे हैं कि यहां तो सब ही मौजूद हैं, सभी किताबें और सभी लेखक। भई आपकी तीनों किताबें पिछले महीने पढ़ीं। यह गाॅड्स एग्जिस्टेंस से कुछ आगे की कल्पना है और जबर्दस्त कल्पना है.. साथ ही हम इंसानों के एक अवश्यंभावी भविष्य की झलक और एक क्लियर संदेश कि अगर हमें खुद को बचाना है तो पहले अपने प्लेनेट को बचाना होगा।

बड़ी तारीफ सुनी थी तो पढ़ने से खुद को रोक न सके मगर एक बात ज़रूर कहेंगे कि कहानी थोड़ी और लम्बी रखनी थी, बहुत कम में ख़त्म कर दिया।

बड़ी अजीब कहानी थी लेकिन बहुत गहरे तक झंझोड़ गयी। रेमिंगवे और लीजियन के बीच के संवाद ही कहानी की जान हैं जिनके सहारे हम अगर खुले मन से समझना चाहें तो बहुत कुछ समझ सकते हैं।

With a very different kind of theme and good message .. Yes, the continuity of the dialogues is a bit boring, but the story keeps it tied until the end.

The book is very well written, has a wonderful presentation, has arguments, facts, talks and deep insight into the book. Very interesting and eye opener things like I expected.
.A very beautiful story which is very similar to the story of the earth and almost there is something that has happened on this earth. Very interesting story based on the dialogue of religion and science.

When I started reading, I was a bit shocked, I could not understand how these humans became so wide, how they grew and how they started to jump so long, but then read the blurb again, I understood what the matter was ... At first thought that they are different people and we have nothing to do with them, but in the end, the head was completely dizzy .. written wonderfully.

Aha .. what a wonderful fantasy
Various theories have been given by different people on this planet about the incarnation of humans and this is one of them, but it is given in a great way, with a model so that any reader can easily understand what is being said.

According to myself, I read something like this for the first time, I may have read such things in non-fiction, but got to read something like this with fiction. To be honest, it was fun .. Fully worth the money.

मुझे किसी दोस्त ने कहा था इसे पढ़ने को, सुना नहीं कुछ न इसके बारे में और न ही लेखक के बारे में, लेकिन पढ़ा तो लगा कि लेखनी में दम तो है.. जिस तरह की कहानी है उसके लिए बहुत सा दिमाग चाहिये, आम तौर पर इस तरह की चीज़ें नॉन-फिक्शन में लिखी जाती हैं, मैंने पहली बार फिक्शन के साथ ऐसा गूढ़ सब्जेक्ट पढ़ा।

ये जानना मेरे लिये काफी दिलचस्प रहा कि इंसान के किसी ग्रह पर अवतरण के कौन कौन से पहलु हो सकते हैं और अगर एक धार्मिक और एक नास्तिक दो लोग अगर धर्म को ले कर तार्किक रूप से बहस करें तो कितने तरह की बातें निकल कर सामने आ सकती हैं और हमे सोचने के लिए कितने एंगल मिल सकते हैं।

आज ही हाथ में आई है.. आधी पढ़ी है अभी और कसम से मजा आ रहा है। दोनों मेन कैरेक्टर्स की डिबेट काफी कुछ जानकारी और नजरिये दे रही है।

Mujhe Science Fiction achchhi lagti hain lekin itni deep jankari nahi hai to kai cheezen sar se oopar guzar gayin, lekin overall achchhi book hai jo end me ek bahut clear message deti hai.

Debho Bhai.. itna hardcore subject sab logon ke liye to nahi hota... aisi cheezen unki samajh me hi aayengi jinhe pahle se in sab baaton ki gahri jaankari ho, har kisi ke bas ka nahi.
