The book is structured as a visionary chronicle detailing phases of AI’s integration: initial entry into daily life (2025-2035), deep collaboration and coexistence between humans and AI (2035-2045), and finally the emergence of superintelligent machines that challenge humanity’s role and existence (2045-2050). Through rich storytelling based in a near-future Mumbai, it examines critical issues such as AI governance, ethics, social upheaval, digital divides, AI’s role in justice, cultural shifts, and the delicate balance of power between humans and intelligent machines.
It is not merely a science fiction or technology forecast; it is a philosophical and emotional journey reflecting fears, hopes, and choices faced by humanity. The narrative delves into the societal consequences of AI dependence, the struggle for human identity and freedom, and the resilience of human spirit illustrated by the metaphor of soil, fire, and community resistance.
Ideal for readers interested in AI’s societal implications, future trends, and ethical dilemmas, this book combines imaginative foresight with grounded concerns, emphasizing that the future will be shaped by how well humans embrace, control, or resist AI. It invites readers to be prepared, aware, and actively engaged in co-creating a future where technology and humanity thrive together.
This edition offers an insightful blend of realism and speculation, enriched by the author’s direct experience with AI technologies and an evocative narrative style that captures the rise of a new civilization shaped by artificial intelligence. It serves as both a warning and an inspiration for the journey into the AI-driven world of 2050.
