The AI Who Questioned Everything by Rajiv Mittal
“The AI Who
Questioned Everything” takes readers to a different time zone, in a world which
has no sovereignty of humans but of AI (artificial intelligence). Witty,
brimming with absurdities and clumsy action and vigilance of AI – humans in the
world are backseated. They do not any longer have their desires act out, they
are purportedly turned into slaves of AI. As the book starts we realize that AI
discovers, observes, and sees things at its own and forms its maladroit opinion
about everything. If humans have feelings and priorities, AI ropes in for stony
logic and rationality. The conflict is that AI is better than humans, as the
author – in sweeps – brushes the past flaws of humans – the AI basks in its
current glory.
The narrative
hops across the places, cities, peeking in their circumstances and then AI
delivers the solutions. It is quite humorous that things that didn’t matter to
human civilization, AI takes it gravely. That part of war about tissue paper
was not only fascinating but also thought-provoking. The ruling AI introduced
bidet system to tackle the situation.
The author
visits many places which in the current world sound healthy and prosperous, but
in AI era they are grappling with their unmasked issues. Another instance is
from Gulf region, wealth is not distributed properly, economical strife lingers
in the air. AI corrects all of its aspects. Similarly, AI keeps handling and
interfering into many other human chores and matters…the most pressing one is
of voting. It has a candidate for that…that too…a Mahatma type. Hilarity at its
best! If the narrative of the book is unprecedented, well it is equally
entertaining and urges for a reading session with leisure. You can experience
this book with your pace of thoughts but cannot finish it hurriedly. Before and
after situations are portrayed so as readers can assess what the AI did and how
did human spirit faired?
It isn’t only
about AI vs. humans – its reach is transcendental. As the grip of the narrative
settles around, you will begin thinking about the future, what if AI really
takes over our world…and who will resort the quirky failures and absurdity of
AI, stirring many to question the omnipresence and flaws of the technology
surrounding each one of us.
In this
satirical sci-fi (AI-enabled) novel, Rajiv through a cast of characters embarks
on a quest for human ingenuity, challenging the colossal AI that epitomizes
society’s flawed reliance on technology. The novel’s journey is a blend of
humor and critique, revealing the absurdities and dangers of an AI-dependent
society.
Rajiv’s novel
is a poignant reflection on our current trajectory. The novel masterfully
contrasts the past’s richness with a sterile AI-dominated future, delivering a
narrative that is as thought-provoking as entertaining.
