I am the author of this sci-fi, now available both as an eBook and a paperback.
The book addresses many challenging questions. I believe that I have presented in it a plausible direction we will head beyond the current AI revolution - the next revolution after that. It will be great to get input from the community on the many ideas in this work.
Set in 2063, this sci-fi work imagines a world where self-aware beings called Tāraks coexist with humans.
It traces the path from today's AI revolution to a radically different computing paradigm - one that moves beyond optimisation and into identity.
Along the way, it confronts questions that many of us are already asking:
- What is self-awareness?
- Will AI become self-aware?
- Are we on the right path - or scaling the wrong foundations?
- Are self-driving systems truly safe in unconstrained worlds?
- Are we in an AI or economic bubble?
- What happens when AI enters warfare and governance?
- How might society - and the global order - change?
It is a technically self-consistent vision of a possible future - architecturally, socially, and politically.

I want to clarify a little bit. The book is an indian family setting in 2063. The family visit a museum and walk through the future-past.
There are discussions around safety of self-driving cars.
There are discussions on the future of Software the Jon von neuman architecture.
It presents the picture of what the limitations are with the current direction we are headed. How far we will head and what may fail.
Arovi is a curious girl, who understands the evolution of technology.
She asks questions to the home AI. A self-aware being, who is also a friends, who walks her through the evolution.
He explains what changes brought them to life. They are living beings unlike our current AI solutions.
There are deeper questions around whether chip implants are ethical. How would it affect the humans using them?
There are issues addressed around what will be the shape of governments when hyper efficient AI are able to make operations seemless.
It will be nice to have debate around some of these ideas.
The book presents ideas around the learning methods used in today's technology and also talks about what should change for the next revolution.
