The Silicon Mind by Manikarnika Lagu | Book review

Book review:

"The Silicon Mind" is a gripping science fiction thriller that delves into the thrilling realm of cutting-edge technology. It revolves around the intriguing concept of a highly advanced neural chip implant in a human brain by a robot, setting the stage for a rollercoaster of events. Filled with vibrant characters, intricate plots, and heart-racing action, this book provides the ultimate escape for readers hungry for adventure, intrigue, and a glimpse into a world beyond imagination.

The story begins with two accomplished neuroscientists, Prof. Narayan Murthy and Prof. John Smith, and their groundbreaking creation—the world's most sophisticated neural chip, developed a year ago. However, their elation quickly turns to frustration as they struggle to find willing human subjects for testing. Their only options: acquire a guinea pig or secretly convert a patient into one, both ethically questionable.

Ray stumbles upon a potential solution when he learns about Dr. Aman, who had been in a coma for 12 days following an accident. Recognizing Aman as the ideal test subject, Ray and his American collaborators surreptitiously implant the silicon chip into his brain, setting the stage for an enthralling narrative.

As the story unfolds, Aman experiences unexpected issues, such as burning sensations in his hand and a depletion of physical energy. Seeking answers, he turns to Ray, but Ray's explanations fall short, eroding Aman's trust. Aman then enlists the help of Manasi, a clinical psychologist, who studies his CAT scans obtained with Ishan's assistance, a journalist and Manasi's friend who obtained the images by breaking into Murthy's office.

Manasi, driven by her determination to enhance her reputation in her field, meticulously examines the scans to uncover the root causes of these mysterious occurrences. Meanwhile, Aman grapples with his newfound, potentially transient, healing abilities, leaving him uncertain about his future. Will he overcome these challenges or be consumed by the transformations happening within his body?

The author's skillful storytelling immerses readers in a world of groundbreaking medical technology and moral quandaries, while also exploring universal themes of love, loss, and redemption. Through a captivating narrative, "The Silicon Mind" follows Aman on a quest to unravel the enigmatic connection between his altered brain and extraordinary abilities.

In conclusion, "The Silicon Mind" by Manikarnika is a thought-provoking and adrenaline-pumping journey into the realms of artificial intelligence and human potential. This riveting tale keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page, making it essential reading for enthusiasts of thrilling science fiction narratives that challenge the boundaries of technology and human existence.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
