A machine can now do much of what you trained for. Volume I asks what you are, what the machine is, and what stays yours when it does the rest. Thirteen chapters, three Parts, and no promise that your job is safe.

A machine can now do much of what you spent years learning. Every list of what it cannot do has failed, including mine. This book makes a smaller claim that holds: not what a machine cannot do, but what it cannot be.

The Hanuman Chalisa a whole theatre sang begins with a confession: I lack understanding, give me a better mind. Why devotion needs logic, why logic needs devotion, and how to tell a living faith from a sealed one.

Critics called Hanuman Ansh slow and full of magic. Much of that should stand. But a verdict on craft is not a verdict on the whole, and a devotee who treats every criticism as an insult does more damage than any two-star review.
