Review

Where Will Man Take Us?: The bold story of the man technology is creating by Atul Jalan is a wonderful book that tells about how technology has been a boon and curse for a man.

It’s about nanotechnology, robotics, humanoid, Artificial intelligence. The author shares about different technologies and different peoples, scientist, researchers and many other things.

I loved the idea of the book. It has a wonderful message. I loved how the author narrated the information.
It’s a well-researched book with some data and facts that will surprise you.

The way the author conveyed every detail with so much depth is commendable. The writing style of the author is gripping and up to the point. The language used by the author is simple and relatable. With every chapter, the author makes the reader curious about many coming facts.

Divided into 5 parts the author covers the topics like Science, Computing, blockchain, mankind and many others. He tells about how man was and how he is now. How technology is affecting Man mentally and Emotionally.

Topics like What role can religion play today, What is Happiness, Personal Data ownership, Matchmaking are some of my favourite chapters from this book.

There are many chapters which are an eye-opener for the reader. It’s a bit heavy read so take your own time to understand. This book has a strong message that one needs to get.

Overall, A wonderful book.
