2029 is a book that details a super modern world with robots and real-life simulations at home. It starts with Maanvi, a single mom, living with her boy, Kay, in a post-COVID-19 world. After the havoc the virus caused, Maanvi lost her husband. Since then, she is not quite over the trauma and has become over-protective of her child. So much so that she refuses even to let him step a foot out the door or even let her own mother meet her boy. Though out of good for her child, her over-protectiveness takes a darker turn when she steps out of her home, leaving Kay behind.
2029 shows us the dark side of what happens when people prefer to have robots, AIs, and over-the-top security protocols over normal humans. It shows that zero communication with humans and not trusting your loved ones can lead to a disaster.
While the ending remains vague, the reader's interpretation is pretty apparent. The trauma of the pandemic is brutal to get over and even harder to forget. Still, it is not the reason to stay locked up when you have taken every necessary precaution to protect yourself and your family. Over-protectiveness has never solved a problem.
Kudos to the dear author for writing an eye-opening short story. 10/10 recommended.

I’m always on the lookout for short reads that pack emotions, life and plot into its pages. This story did not disappoint. Swati has chosen a topic that needs much discussion and she’s left me thinking about the future.

The book can be described as a simple read with intense outlook towards the lives altered by the pandemic. In the beginning protagonist acted as an obstinate person and painted a picture of a selfish parent. Later after going through her memories it's revealed how she was a victim of ptsd for the trauma she faced during the pandemic after losing her beloved. She was stubborn and driven by her trauma and in the end while trying to shield her son from harm she recklessly ended up being the cause of it. The book pays homage to all the people who lost their beloved in the tragic virus outbreak and are still getting used to the world after departure of their loved ones.

"2029" by Swati Khatri is a Short Read with multiple layers underneath.And an amazing presentation of technology.
The story is set in 2029,where Robots can carry out household tasks, Self-driving cars and drones can deliver packages.
So life was simple with AI. What about Human Emotions?
That is something we can relate to even at present.From AM to PM we are dependent on Smart technology.
Here we meet Single Parent Maanvi ,who is living the Ultra tech life with her Son Kay .I was amazed knowing that he was so used to the virtual world and has not seen the real world.
The entire world building of 2029 was very appropriate.
Though the stories are short ,their characters are so well portrayed.

The past 2 years have been really tough for all of us. The boom of technology has taken an exponential curve and taught us to live indoors. Many of us liked it and a lot of us didn't. The short story written by @ shows the experience of a single mother Maanvi who lost her husband too soon due to a Covid like virus. Although the details of his death have not been mentioned Maanvi now faces difficulty in trusting people specially because they didn't take precautions when the virus hit which eventually led to her husband's death. Now it's 2029, and Maanvi and her son Kay spend most of their time inside their home with Kay having zero experience of the outside world. She's built a whole world inside her home with the help of AI and advanced simulator.
But is depending on machines really better than relying on humans ? And when the machines do exactly what you say.. is it a boon or a bane ?
The story was an interesting thought although it could have been a lot better with much more detailing and character development. For a person who dislikes open ended novels or stories, it was a nightmare for me, but it did get me out of my reading slump.

“The pandemic did not take away only lives, it shaved away a chunk of people’s life living itself.”-Anon.
Indeed, the pandemic of COVID 19 has shown us the true importance of not only human emotions but also the true significance of how crucial it is to live a normal life without inhibitions and fears, gliding one’s way in life, in a free, thoughtless manner.
And after having read a dystopian fiction set in the future, which managed to convey a ton, in spite of being small in size-no of pages, I mean. 2029 by Swati Khatri is a book set in future, that managed to convey our fears in a matter of some pages.
Really COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdowns were a period so nightmarish that all I could do was pray each passing day that may God give each and every one of us the strength to look beyond what was actually transpiring. And I believe, that happened to be exactly the problem too, in those days, overthinking and also the fear of the unknown.
Swati, through the story of Maanvi, has made us privy to those fears which we held during such turbulent times, showing us the conscious and doubtful side of our human nature. Focusing on an ever-changing lifestyle thanks to technology also sheds light on what we tend to ignore even when we have the best of technology on our side-yes, the humane touch. We somewhat forget that aspect attached and also how that is the single most important aspect in the whole scenario.
Ok, agreed that Maanvi’s attitude was somewhat debatable but hey weren’t we all as apprehensive, and over-cautious as her when faced with the prospective travesties staring at us in the face when we were in the eye of the storm aka the pandemic? Swati has portrayed those inhibitions, those fears lurking in our minds brilliantly through Maanvi’s character making us acquainted with the other side of human behaviour as well as human nature. A short yet meaningful read encapsulating how we as humans need to demarcate and also respect the differentiation and weightage we give to both human emotions as well as technology.
I especially want to comment on how in spite of being a short read, Swati has put across a ton load of detailing, presenting us not only her idea and morale but doing so in a way where she has interwoven the story in such a manner that one cannot help but wonder at how she managed to portray so much in so short a narrative. With simple yet clear language, the story is short, yet impactful.
Ever felt the overwhelming presence of AI especially in your daily lives, when one instance you may have discreetly spoken something to your spouse or mom, discussing certain objects, ideas or concepts and the next thing you see is brand endorsements flashing on all your social media pertaining exactly either to what you spoke or in a sort of a response mechanism? Well, that is AI for you. Imagine with that kind of encroachment, where do we go from here? Are we stable and equipped enough to handle this technological encroachment in a balanced manner? Can we ourselves not create the much-needed equilibrium where we strike the balance in a manner which is in tandem with us and humanity at large? Exactly my point and Swati’s too, I feel.
I could see that she has kept a cliffhanger of sorts at the end, as in spite of ending the tale, she leaves a lot to the readers’ imagination as well as an opening for a next in the series, to fuel and supplicates this concept she has given a shout out to. A brilliant dystopian sci-fi, this one is what I would say a little pocket and yet detonated enough to impact enough akin to a holocaust.

September 24, 2022Are you paranoid about AI or do you welcome technological advances❓How about having robots as waiters, househelp, utility workers❓
📖 The story is set in 2029, where artificial intelligence is reliable and smart homes are a way of life.
Here robots can do household chores; drones can take up home deliveries and cars can drive all by themselves.
But in the midst of all these advancements there is something which is still the same.
HUMAN EMOTIONS, which are as messed up as ever.

🙋🏻 This is one quick read which gives the reader a reality check. I kept on procastrating & didn't read this book for long but i finally picked it up today & it reiterated my fear, my fear of AI, my fear that pretty soon in the future our world would be machines, gadgets & simulation devoid of human contact, emotions & fresh air..
"running away from the world was not a solution to anything."
After reading about pandemic in sci-fi books few years back & then actually seeing the catastrophe unfolding in front of my eyes, i fear reading such a genre. AI taking over all human work, zeroing human contact is my greatest fear. I am not against technological advancement but it can never replace human emotions & decision making.
"See you need real human connection. AI can’t replace humans."
Similarly, in this read, Maanvi loses her husband to coronavirus & gets paranoid after that, so much so that she shrinks her world, office space, outdoors via simulation, everything to her home's boundary & has two robots to help her. Her son is not allowed to go outside to play or go to school, everything is artificially provided inside. She's sceptical that such a deadly virus may resurface unexpectedly. Sanitization, no contact with humans etc are her precautions. Her mother & friend try to dissuade her but.. The story ends on a cliffhanger but would be enough to teach Maanvi another life lesson..
“What do we want? Do we even know? It was us who paid for technology and set up smart homes for ourselves. Now we are paying to be away from technology,” observed Maanvi.
Don't let fear of the past, ruin your present.

“We’re linked to histories we can’t ever know, forgotten stories that form our most intimate substance.”
2029 is a novel about AI, and its reliability and its smartness.
✒️This book is a little outlandish...
Surprisingly touching warm qualities--
The structure of '2029' is unique...interlinking together six narrative voices -
✒️Artificial intelligence is linked with human desires for intimacy - and connections.There is so much emotion felt. My mind was thinking - yet my heart was feeling empathy for these characters and their situations. It's complex and will have you seriously thinking about how much our memories mean to us.
✒️There is a great book trapped inside this good book, waiting for a skillful editor to carve it out. Swati did vast research in multiple domains and it seems like she could neither build a cohesive narration that could connect all of it nor leave anything out.
✒️The story revolves around a single mother named Manvi. Manvi's husband died during the Corona period and after that Manvi's life turned upside down. After that she was very focused on raising and protecting her son.The reason for that was because she strongly believed that if he met anyone during this Corona period, even if he stood with anyone, the disease would spread to him.
✒️To alleviate her child's loneliness, She set up a virtual world for her kid at home with two robots. They both live with those two bots.
✒️Overall I found it to be an interesting and thought provoking book. It’s not an easy read and I did find myself a little lost at times, but I did finish it. I may have missed some key messages the author intended me to grasp along the way, but I do feel I was both entertained and informed. And it did prompt me to go out and undertake some basic research into the current state of Artificial Intelligence.
✒️The book cover is gorgeous as well as the artistry of the storytelling.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by animals and humans.
Robots will do household chores drones can take up home deliveries, and cars can drive themselves. But one thing will remain the same that is human emotions.
But can we trust technology blindfolded??? Is technology a boon or a curse???
Manvi lost her husband Kartik due to covid. They were vaccinated, they took all the prescribed precautions, and they were always alert still the deadly virus ruined her life completely.
Now in 2029 when everything is AI controlled and monitored minutely, she has made her life a cocoon within 4 walls of her house with her son Kay. She is traumatized and has never allowed her son to see the real world. Her fear is so strong that if Kay meets people he will be affected and she may lose him too. Life has become computerized for the mother-son duo.
Her mother and friends are tiered explaining to her to come out of this trauma and to live her life normally but all in vain.
Will her possessiveness and relying on technology completely will harm her or her son in any way??? Or is her way of living the correct decision???
The Pandemic took away many lives and shattered the whole world. Those who lost their loved ones are still in pain, but living your life in fear is not going to work. Dealing with deadly viruses is a must and we have to be prepared to face such scenarios even in the future.
The story is very short but the impact left behind is huge. Hats off to the author for penning down such an emotional and heartbreaking story. The end is painful but the lesson it taught me is outstanding and magnificent. What a fabulous way to give a brilliant message and make people understand the reality of life.
Congratulations to the author for this amazing project.

"2029" unfolds in a futuristic realm where artificial intelligence has seamlessly integrated into daily existence, permeating every facet of life. AI entities are omnipresent, from cooking in homes to delivering Amazon orders on the streets; their omnipresence is inescapable.
At the heart of the narrative is Maanvi, a single mother raising her son, Kay, in the year 2029, a world still grappling with masks and booster shots as a part of daily life. In this technologically advanced society, individuals have the option to lead highly secluded lives, with drones and robots facilitating every need, including work, education, and even entertainment. Maanvi, still haunted by the trauma of the pandemic, resides in a self-imposed isolation, cohabiting with her son and an AI robot in a tightly sealed apartment. She steadfastly avoids any human contact, even forbidding her own mother from touching Kay. Despite persistent advice from her mother and neighbor, who stress the importance of human interaction for Kay's development, Maanvi remains resolute in her choice.
However, an unforeseen incident disrupts this isolated existence, setting in motion a series of events that will forever alter Maanvi's life.
The narrative is characterized by its simplicity and accessibility, making it a compelling read suitable for readers of all backgrounds. The author's storytelling is seamless and engaging, despite the brevity of the work, leaving a profound and enduring impact on readers.
While the content of the book is thought-provoking and impactful, the cover design could benefit from more vibrancy and appeal. It currently lacks the visual allure that would draw potential readers in.
In conclusion, "2029" is recommended for anyone intrigued by the influence of technology on human existence. It is a brief yet thought-provoking read that warrants both time and investment, leaving readers with lasting reflections on the implications of our tech-driven world.

2029 is far to think about how our lives will be, but this short story of 35 pages reveals that technology will play a vital role in our lives in the near future. Can you trust technology over humans? Maybe there are different opinions. However, technology like Artificial intelligence & Machine learning allows us to rely on them for various tasks and smart homes are a way of life.
Manvi who had lost her love of life due to corona was not in a position to trust the outside world so she encloses herself and her eight-year son Kay in a home filled with machines that obeyed all the commands given to them, a utopia!
An automated home where robots can carry out household tasks, drones can deliver packages to homes, walls acting as display screens and self-driving cars are commonplace. Are you stunned? After all, technology is what makes your life comfortable and the only thing that listens to your words.
If you ask me, I would say that technology is based on commands which bring short-term happiness but is not a solution to the real world or human emotions. At the end of the story, Manvi will come across another big tragedy in her life due to her complete reliance on technology.
The book leaves us with many questions about technology, and whether to trust it or not.
Did technology protect Kay? Are we ready for smart homes? Is technology a perfect solution? What is it in 2029 actually, will robots replace human emotions?
The short story, 2029 did not bore me anywhere as it was a quick read and is recommendable to all, especially those believing in science and fiction.

Author:- Swati Khatri
This is a short book of 35 pages. The story is set in 2029 where artificial intelligence is reliable and smart homes are a way of life, where people have robots who do their household chores, drones are used to make home deliveries, and self-driven cars are used.
The story revolves around a single mother named Maanvi who lost her husband in a virus attack in 2021 when she was pregnant with their son Kay. This incident has played a tolled on her in such a way that even after 8 years she fears coming in contact with humans and this fear just kept growing in her and at last, it resulted in obsession. She never left the house more than once or twice a year.
Maanvi has set her home reliable on AI smart devices, appliances, robots, and drones because she started trusting machines and robots more than humans. For her machine and robots are more accurate and efficient than human beings. She has a simulator set up at home through which her son Kay can play and experience virtual reality.
But one fine day when Maanvi was out with her friend after a long period of 6 months of staying indoors, something happened back at her home, where she trusted the robots with her son rather than her own mother.
What do you think must have happened???
For that, I will recommend you to read this book on Kindle.
This book shows how the pandemic has affected people not only related to health but also emotionally and psychologically. But, it is the truth that the pandemic has left its impact in such a way that our life is somehow changed now, it is not the same as it was used to be before March 2020.

This book shows how the pandemic has affected people not only related to health but also emotionally and psychologically. But, it is the truth that the pandemic has left its impact in such a way that our life is somehow changed now, it is not the same as it was used to be before March 2020.

"2029" by Swati Khatri is a short story set up in the future revolving around technological advancements and the COVID loss.
How can someone talk about in just 35 pages? It's a gripping story about the pain of losing your loved ones & the fear that comes with it and how it resides till the end of their lives. It tells us that no matter how 'normal' our lives will become, the devastation that COVID has caused still remains. How some people are damaged beyond repair because of this pandemic.
The story is of Manvi, the protagonist who was so much haunted of the widespread pandemic that she didn't want his son, Kay to experience real world. She wanted to keep her child secure so she didn't let him go outside & wanted to grow him at home after her husband's death due to virus.
Maanvi was totally dependent on AI in her life for everything. She ignored the appeals of her friend and her mother to let go of fear of past.
One day, she planned to go out with her friends and left the security on AI.But it seems to be her biggest mistake ever.
This is a short story.You can complete in one go, the language is also easy.
Overall, it was enjoyable. But according to my pov I think the ending should end well, or maybe this a trailer to her further novel. Idk it yet if this is the trailer, then I'll be waiting for the whole movie😉.
Everyone must give it a read and see how in future machines will impact on our life.
Qotd*- But can robots really replace when it comes to emergency where we need to understand and act as per the situation by engrossing emotions over it and not just by settings?

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀 : It's the year 2029. Humans are highly dependent on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics. Here robots can do household chores; drones can take up home deliveries and cars can drive all by themselves. Like everyone else Maanvi too is surrounded and amazed by technologies and robotics. She has a robot called Flex. It does all the house chores, takes care of Maanvi and her son Kay.But can you trust technology over humans? Why not? It will obey your command. And do exactly as you say… ??? But can it replace human emotions? So what will happen when Maanvi choose Robots over Humans? Will she and her son be okay?
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗔𝗜) ?
Artificial intelligence is a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.
𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 : It seems magical right that robots will do everything for us, it'll make us food, do dishes and laundries. It seems that'll be a relaxing and comfortable life. But can robots be our friends? Our family? Surely it'll make us any foods that we want but does the taste will be same? I don't think so, cause it won't have a special spice called "Love" that our family members mix in the food for us.
This is a really well written short story, which will make you understand more clearly the effects of overuse of technology. The story is very fast paced and impactful. There's so many emotions in this book. How people's life affected due to covid-19 that also well described here.I would recommend it to read everyone, it's not like other sci-fi stories but it's more meaningful.

2029 is a short story set in a futuristic world where AI have become very much integrated with people's lives. They're everywhere; in the house cooking up food, on the street delivering amazon orders, wherever you turn they're there.
Maanvi, a single mother of an eight year old boy Kay, couldn't be happier to live in such a utopia.
After losing the love of her life to covid, Maanvi finds the outside world a dangerous place to raise her only son. So, she takes refuge in technology.
Maani and Kay live in a 'tech-home' where fridges talk, walls are display screens and there's even an outside room that provides all the experience of the real world within the safety of home. Sounds like a good deal isn't it. After all, these AIs are reliable, prioritise your safety and follow instructions to a t. What could go wrong?
The world building is fantastic. We get a clear picture of how AI has become a part of that world. It is seamlessly woven into the story, a very short story and that in itself should be appreciated.
That said, the story left me with a lot of questions. Maanvi is hell bent on the belief that keeping her son out of the real world is the only safe way to raise him; what happens when he grows up? Did she not think about his future? How long have they been living this way? And many more questions.
I see this book as a teaser to a bigger novel set in this world. If that's the plan I can't wait to read it.
If you haven't read any science fictions, but are curious about it, this short story could be your first step.

First of all, when I came to know about this book, I seriously thought it was too complicated to understand because I had been told it was science fiction, especially about artificial intelligence. Being a biology major, how will I know the technical terms in AI? I like to expose myself to the genre, which is completely new to me, so I thought of giving it a try. And you know what, my thoughts were all wrong. The story was a glimpse of the future, where humans trust only machines. The story is set in 2029. Maanvi, the protagonist, who lost her husband in the pandemic of 2021, She didn't trust anyone after that. So she started to trust only machines that obeyed her commands. She went out one day, and her eight-year-old son was alone at home with those machines. Was it safe for a child to be around the machines? Did something happen to him? Would machines feel human emotions? Well, to find out further, then grab your copy.
This is a short story. One sitting is enough to complete this book. There is no need to be afraid that there would be some technical terms in the story, which is completely wrong, because it is an ordinary story, and words are not too complicated. So even a beginner can give it a try. Overall, I enjoyed the book. One thing I just want to mention is that the end of the story could have been explained well in detail. I felt it was a little incomplete, but the story was really gripping. So everyone should give it a try to see how machines have an impact on human life.

The idea of this story has evidently stemmed out from the pandemic that devastated millions across the globe and snatched away their dear ones leaving them at the disposal of fear and fate for the rest of their lives.
Maanvi was one of those millions to have been called out a checkmate by the Pandemic.
She lost her husband to Covid while she was pregnant with their son, Kay.
Fast forwarding to the year 2029, Maanvi’s fear that had crept inside her precisely 8 years ago, only kept growing until it became an obsession, compelling her to be so cautious that she never left her house for more than once or twice in a year; while her son Kay had never stepped out at all in the real world for her fear of losing him.
Maanvi had designed her house in such a way that it was crowded with smart devices and appliances, an AI robot called Flex, a simulator that made things appear real which allowed Kay to have an experience of the real world through paradoxically an artificial medium.
Everything was going just fine for Maanvi and her son in their artificial bubble!
However, one fine day when Maanvi was out of her house after six long months of staying indoors, something happened back at her house which I might say was again fate playing a cruel enemy to her!
What do you think must have happened?
Were her fears justified or was she just being paranoid?
Read the story which is just 35 pages long to find out!

"Pros and cons of advanced Science" - one of the most common essay we used to write since our childhood days.
✍️ Though we list all the time many disadvantages of science, but we just forget everything while in use or in action.
We feel relaxed, safe and life easier when using technological advancements. So in short, knowingly we - human create the chaotic, polluted and unsafe atmosphere for ourselves.
✍️ Here in this short story, we got to know about a world of 2029 where people are so accustomed with machines that they just forget original humanity. They give priorities to machines more than a human.
Technically people become machine dependent and thus forgot to live life normally.
✍️ But we need to remember one thing, the biggest strength of being human is emotional quotient. We have emotions and feelings while dealing things. Machines never can understand the value of life. They just follow coding and instructions.
So, how dramatic endings can hit our lives if we lead life only through machines?
👉 This entire message has been potrait through a mother and eight years old son.
🖊️ The language is super simple so it can be a beginner read too
🖊️ Very short read so anyone can enjoy even through reading slam
🖊️ The entire mood has been created in an interesting way
🖊️ The love for family of human beings has been potrait in a beautiful way
🖊️ The story gives us a strong deep meaning of upcoming days
Overall nice read... 👍👍👍👍

The story is set in 2029, where Artificial Intelligence is doing all household works and technology has made life much better for Maanvi. Maanvi is leading her life with his son Kay, in the shadows of a virus. She was so afraid of the widespread pandemic of virus that she didn't wanted his son to experience real word. She wanted to grow up her child at home after her husband's due to virus.
Her mother wanted to understand Maanvi that running away from world was not a solution to anything. According to her, Maanvi and Kay needs to go out to get some fresh air, meet real humans and learn the ways of world. But Maanvi wants to protect Kay's life from virus. Maanvi was totally dependent on Artificial Intelligence in her life for everything.
One day, when she planned to go out with her friends, she switched off the emergency system, so that her mother cannot meet Kay in her absence. She instructed her, AI, Flex to shut down the emergency protocol for 6 hours, in order to save her child's life from virus in real world. But this was her biggest mistake ever. The language is easy to read and understand. The book is fast paced and it was really refreshing to read such imagination of author. The story will make you think of life of future with artificial intelligence. I would recommend this book if you like to read fantasy fiction.

Book- 2029
Author- Swati Khatri
Edition- Aamzon Kindle
Ratings- 4/5
Review-
I had always wondered how a life of a normal person would be after some years, with the growing technology and the replacement of manpower with AI and robotics. The use of drones in the public, automatically driven cars, efficient machines that do all your house chores, keeping robots for your domestic purposes and for personal interests is becoming a habit in people's lives.
And author Swati khatri has beautifully penned down a fictional story about the pros and cons of it through a fictional plot that will definitely inspire every reader at the end.
The plot revolves around Manvi and her vow to protect her son from human interaction as she feared her son would get affected as she had a mindset that every humans are flawed and infectious. She tried to protect her son through every way possible by restricting him indoors and making a world with robots and AI. Will she able to protect her son till the end?
This is a short and brisk story which highlights an important aspect in today's world. Can robots replace human emotions? They can definitely influence manpower, but can AI control your basic emotions?
It was a different read overall. Surely recommended to readers who likes to read books on some fresh genres.

This is a very interesting and thought-provoking book. As we create ever more powerful A.I. super-computers; will they usher in a new era – or will they replace us?
It's the year 2029. From a third-person POV, we follow Maanvi through her blandly happy days with her son, Kay. All seems vanilla ice cream and sunshine with the exception of the fact that they two are living inside the four falls with bots and they don't have any contact to the outside world. Kay is eight years old but haven't been outside of his house even once. Maanvi won't let him go outside because of a tragic event in her past. Kay get some real world experience only through simulators. A great example of how AI take over humans. Maanvi trusts robots over humans and always appreciate them saying how good they are than humans. But later, something happens in her life which destroys every hope she had.
This is a tale about our own future with Artificial Intelligence. The book does not offer all the answers but makes the reader think. We are approaching times when machines start to understand our world. There is a possibility, that in the near future we will be working with Artificial Intelligence as equal partners.

2029 is a short story set in a futuristic world where AI have become very much integrated with people's lives. The story shows how technology has affected as well as benefitted people living in 2029, in a post-covid world.
The story is about a woman, Maanvi, an overprotective mom who does not want her kid to go out in the real world after she lost her husband during the pandemic. She doesn't want to lose her son too, and she cuts of the connections and interactions with the outside world with help of AI. Even though her friend, Vanshika and her mother insists that Kay, her son needs to face the real world, Maanvi is adamant about not letting him go out. She believes that AI and robots are enough for her son giving him the outside world feeling without the danger of the virus. Will she be able to protect her son? Is a robot enough for the child? Can't AI go wrong? Read out to know more.
The story is a very short one and presented well. The author has well researched and portrayed the futuristic world very well showing how the world looks then. The character development could have been more better and though the climax was touching, it was predictable. But overall the story is a good read for the ones who loves sci-fiction stories.

The year 2020-21 was a very difficult time for the world
We all felt anxious during the Pandemic, About losing it loved ones, losing our opportunities, loosing that precious time of our life
2029 by Swati Khatri is a short story about a young girl who lost her husband in the pandemic and is now living her life Closed off from the outside world in her home with her kid with nobody but advanced technology around them.
To be honest I picked this book just because it this just a 35 pages long book and I desperately need to put at least 1 book in my read pile to motivate myself to read more😅😅😅 I was not expecting this book to be this Gooood.
I appreciate the way the author has described the post-COVID anxiety and the “new normal” situation, this is something I think everyone can relate to 😢😢😢😢.
Science fiction is not my genre, I believe I’m not smart enough to understand all the technology mentioned in such books😁😁😁😁😁 but when I read this book I was soo happy because I was Understanding all the technical parts mentioned (felt proud of myself bcoz of it😝😝😝) and if I liked a sci-fi book then trust me the book was written in a simple and gripping format and you should give it a try😃😃😃😃😃
This is a very short read only 35 pages long (it took me not more than 30-40 minutes to read and finish the book) which I think everyone should read.
Do I like this book?
Yesssss
Will I recommend it to you?

2029 is a short story based on science fiction telling about AI set in year 2029. The language of the book is lucid and this short story is only of 35 pages.
The story is about protagonist Maanvi, who lost her husband in year 2021 due to Covid. She is blessed with a son and they both alone lives in a house full of robots and machines. Story is set in 2029 and shows how smoothly the world adapts the Modern technologies, making lives easier. You don’t need to make any contact with anyone and your work will be done. This story beautifully explains about the condition of people in year 2021 along with 2029. I still find the ending was weak and could have been better. The storyline is simple and smooth clearly indicating what exactly author needs to tell yet it miss a proper ending according to me. I find this book realistic and connecting and this is the reason I was able to finish it in a single sitting without loosing any interest. Will their lives be easier? Will she be able to protect her son from the outer world’s pandemic despite of having modern technologies? Read out this book to know the answers! Highly recommended to beginners.

A science fiction short tale titled 2029 tells the story of AI in the year 2029. The book's grammar is clear, and this brief story barely takes up 35 pages.
The protagonist of the narrative is Maanvi, who lost her husband to Covid in the year 2021. She is fortunate to have a son, and the two of them live alone in a robotic home. The story, which takes place in 2029, demonstrates how easily the world has adapted to modern technology, making life easier. Your task will be completed without your having to contact anyone. The situation of humanity between 2021 and 2029 is well explained in this tale. I still believe the conclusion might have been stronger.The plot is straightforward and seamless, clearly displaying the author's intended message, but in my opinion, it lacks a satisfactory conclusion. I find this book to be relatable and compelling, which is why I was able to read it cover to cover without getting bored. Will they have an easier life? Despite having access to advanced technology, will she be able to shield her son from the pandemic in the outside world? To find out the answers, read this book! Beginners are encouraged to use this.

2029 is a fictional story based on real incident. It is written by Swati Khatri. This story is based 8 years after the pandemic. The housing facilities are dominated by high-tech houses, full of all the technological facilities.
This story is about a mother, Maanvi who wants to protect her child from the aftereffects of virus. She lost her husband, Kartik, in this pandemic only and hence she was afraid of losing her son too.
Maanvi didn’t allow her child to see the real world, she didn’t even let her mother to see her grandchild. But her complete reliance on technology for her child’s safety will lead to a huge loss.
WHAT SHE WILL BE LOSING? CAN WE COMPLETELY TRUST TECHNOLOGY? HOW FAR WILL MAANVI GO TO PROTECT HER CHILD?
It’s a story of just 35 pages, but the message behind this story is really strong. The language of this book is comprehensive, so even the beginners can also read it.
There’s nothing that I disliked in this book.
I recommend this book to all the readers. It is suitable for all the readers of every age.

“Technology has made life so much better. If it wouldn’t have been for technology, life would have been so difficult,”
The story takes us to 2029 where technology is a most important part of life. The story is about Maanvi, who lost her husband in 2021 during COVID. She uses AI Technology and believed that robots are better than humans that's why she does all things at home without going outside. everything can be at home. Work can be managed at home; schooling can be done at home.
She has a fear of “what if a new virus comes up?” that's why she provides her son (KAY ) with all the facilities at home.
She has a room for all the gaming activities. The simulator makes them feel real.
We can see the future of technology in this book like smart wall, smart refrigerators, Automatic cars, bots, etc.
Everything that exists in this world has its advantages and disadvantages. We have to consider the bad effects of modern technology on us. When we used technological devices somewhere.
