The World of Science Fiction by Souvik Chakraborty

 The World of Science Fiction by Souvik Chakraborty  


Book review:

As a science teacher, I like reading about tales of discovery and assumptions. I grabbed, "The World of Science Fiction" and it is a beautiful collection of science tales from different authors.  This book gave me an abundance of introspective ideas and reverberating facts that have the power to change technology. 

It is basically a gathering of sci-fi, thus containing cutting-edge stories, for example, trendsetting innovation, Investigation of room, Time travelling and other comparable minds. The speed of the stories varies relying upon the singular styles of the creators. A few stories accompany exaggerated circumstances that keep the reader in a quicker force, while some are more rational.

The editor has meticulously combined all the stories from renowned authors like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Stanley G. Weinbaum, and many more. His innovative idea to present varied stories in one book is commendable.  

I personally liked "Into the Sun", " In The Abyss", "The Light from Beyond", " Happy Ending" and many more.  I was startled to read about fissures and how these eruptions can deform or form land masses.

Overall, this hefty collection of fifty-one magnificent tales is cutting-edge and bound to evoke a profound feeling of awe and wonder. Highly recommended!

    I personally enjoyed Satyajit Roy's science fiction. I don't know if he was ahead of his time or not. It is interesting the authors imagine scenarios that science later proves and executes. I think imagination should be allowed to soar, no matter how absurd or outlandish. Those who stay rooted in logic, never dare to fly.

    Added it to my TBR list. I have read very less science fiction and this has a compilation of stories, so certainly would pick it up.

    I have always enjoyed watching sci-fi series and movies; there’s something captivating about seeing futuristic worlds and imaginative concepts come to life on screen. However, when it comes to books, it’s a different story. I find it difficult to stay engaged with sci-fi novels. I will recommend this to my friends who love to read sci- fi.

    I quite enjoy reading books authored by Bong writers. And the way you have reviewed this one tells me I'm about to add one more to that list. 51 tales? Seems quite exciting. Thanks for the recommendation :)

    Sci-fi is one genre of the books which I haven't picked much to read. I have read a couple of marathi books by Dr. Jayant Naralikar and that's it. This one sounds interesting.

    I am not too fond of Sci-fi but your review made me want to read one and see if my opinion still holds true.

    Wow 51 stories is a huge amount! I do enjoy certain kinds of science fiction but not when it's dystopian.

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...

The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia

 The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales. How to make money might be in our control, but how money goes out of our pocket might not be, as psychology is in cohesion with marketing. Harinder Singh Pelia’s “The Psychology of Marketing” is all about how marketing creates a bond with the audience, thus tricking the audience into dwelling deep into purchasing th...
