Sacred Algorithms: The Mumukshu Paradox: From Artificial Intelligence to Consciousness: A Philosophical Science Fiction Thriller Novel

Dear All:
I am a new author and first timer on this platform.

By profession, I am a technology leader, the real me is a seeker, a dreamer though. I recently moved to India after living for a decade in USA, just to chase my dreams, and be on my journey of self discovery.

This is my first expression through a book. Any reflection, review comment would really help me learn more and reflect on maybe new aspects.

The book is a story about a mathematician turn AI scientist, his childhood friend who lived in India, his British girlfriend, a Yogi, a Global AI system and their collective journey to probe what is REAL, what is the potential FUTURE and finally what is the ANSWER for the suspected FUTURE.

Thanks!
Shailendra

Hello Shailendra, and welcome to the group.

I just came across your introduction and the synopsis for your novel, Sacred Algorithms, and I had to reach out. It's rare and wonderful to find a fellow author who is exploring the exact same deep, philosophical territory.

The way you've blended a science fiction thriller with the timeless questions of Vedanta is fascinating. I was particularly struck by the parallels to my own debut novel, The Sentinel Project. While your story looks forward to the future of AI and consciousness, mine looks back to the forgotten science of human consciousness from our ancient past. It feels as though we are exploring the same profound mystery from two sides of a mirror.

I've just added Sacred Algorithms to my "Want to Read" list, and I'm very much looking forward to diving into the world you've created. It's a pleasure to connect with a kindred spirit.

Hi Soren:

Nice connecting with you and my apologies for a delayed response for the other world which still manages to drag me in its corporate affairs. :)

Reading your message, made me feel not just for finding a reader for my book but more importantly for finding a fellow wanderer who is out there on a journey of exploring the REALITY, the absolute one.

The journey is enriched if you have a co traveller who brings another perspective. I would love to learn from your angle. Added your book for my "Wanting to read" list.

Thank you again for finding me and reaching out!

Hi Shailendra,

Thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful reply. I understand the pull of "corporate affairs" all too well, and I appreciate you taking the time to connect.

You've articulated it perfectly—it is a true joy to find a "fellow wanderer" on this path. The journey can be a lonely one, and connecting with a "co traveller" who understands the terrain is an invaluable gift.

I saw that you've added The Sentinel Project to your "Want to Read" list, for which I am very grateful. As a fellow author, I would be honored to send you a complimentary e-copy directly to make it easier for you.

Please let me know your preferred format (ePub, PDF, etc.) and the best email address to send it to.

I'm very much looking forward to our continued conversation. It's a true pleasure to connect with a fellow seeker.

Warmly,

Soren

Dear Soren,

Thank you for your message.
I tried to look for your book on Amazon to purchase but looks like it is not available in India.

You sending me the ebook copy would be really helpful. A pdf copy would be wonderful.

If you are interested, I will send a gift copy of my ebook to you as well for a read and feedback.

My email id - mishrashailendra@zohomail.in
Please share yours as well.

Lastly, again apologies for the delayed response. This time though, I was watching out for your response but looks like I am not well used to Goodreads notifications.

Looking forward to know you more through your book and exchange ideas.

Regards,
Shailendra

Hi Shailendra,

That's fantastic! Thank you so much for your reply and for sharing your email. I'll send the PDF over right away via email.

Looking forward to connecting further!

Warmly, Soren

I just joined here for the same reason. I think that's amazing you wrote a fictional book as a first book. The idea is daunting to me, and even the one fictional book I'm thinking about I'd be using some literary devices that would avoid having to write 'true fiction'.

Congratulations on the book, as well as creating an entire other world!

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your comment. I believe, at the end we all are stories. The truth(s) of the cosmos are best delivered through stories, rather only through stories. A story in itself s a world as you pointed out. As authors we just decide to watch it enjoy it from the fences.
