I would like to bring your kind attention towards my newly published book "From Dust to Data".
The book is a fascinating dive into the vibrant technological transformation from light bulbs to AI algorithms. You can check out more details and the synopsis given below:
Synopsis:- From Dust to Data is a sweeping multi-generational epic that charts the transformation of modern India through the eyes of Arjun, born in 1980 in the desert town of Mandawa. His journey begins in the amber glow of a single 60-watt tungsten bulb—a hard-won symbol of middle-class triumph in an era defined by manual labor and kerosene-scented nights.
As Arjun grows, the story mirrors the nation’s rapid technological awakening. The narrative meticulously captures the sensory magic of the 90s: the communal ritual of adjusting rooftop antennas for grainy telecasts and the screeching symphony of dial-up modems. Through the decades, technology shifts from a shared household miracle to an intimate, pocket-sized tether.
The book explores the "Bridge Generation" paradox: Arjun navigates the IT boom, the birth of the smartphone, and the eventual rise of pervasive AI in 2030, all while grappling with the timeless complexities of love, parental loss, and the digital distance growing within his marriage. It is a poignant reflection on what it means to remain human when reality becomes a stream of data, and how a man who started with a lightbulb learned to find his soul in the age of the algorithm.
