Three lives. Three relationships with technology.
One urgent question: How do we stay human in a digital world?
Rehan Mehta is a 23-year-old tech founder celebrating a forty-million-dollar Series B. His algorithm promises to connect India like never before. Yet when his younger sister calls from a hospital bed after a suicide attempt, he discovers that the greatest barriers to connection exist in the spaces his code cannot reach.
Professor Damu Iyengar is a 68-year-old academic witnessing transformation beyond imagination. Once, knowledge came from books and conversations. Now, his grandson teaches him to navigate a world mediated through screens, forcing him to confront what's gained and lost.
Zoya is a nineteen-year-old performing curated versions of herself online while struggling to find her authentic self offline. Her influence grows in algorithmic spaces even as her real relationships erode.
As their journeys intersect, they discover an uncomfortable truth: there is no escape to an analogue paradise, no algorithm that solves the human struggle. There is only the ongoing work of integration-learning when to connect through screens and when to look up.
Set in contemporary India, where ancient traditions collide with cutting-edge innovation, this novel explores how three generations find meaning and connection in the spaces between notifications.
