Ansh Chatterjee didn’t sign up for this. But destiny doesn’t care about consent. One minute, he’s a regular guy scrolling conspiracy forums at 2 AM. The next, he’s knee-deep in an ancient civilisation that may or may not have cracked quantum physics before Alexander the Great even showed up at our doorstep.
Armed with a misfit squad of hackers, history nerds, and at least one dog who’s smarter than him, Ansh has two pressing questions:
– Did the India of yore actually have neural telepathy?
– And who’s kept this secret buried for 3000+ years?
Between dodging traffic in Mumbai, getting side-eyed by the authorities, and dealing with the capitalist overlords who run his parents’ company, Ansh has bigger problems—because whatever wiped out this bygone civilisation might not be finished. And he’s just put himself on its radar.
Who would’ve guessed that the fate of the world depends on a sarcastic Gen Z-er with a caffeine addiction and a crippling fear of commitment? A story where ancient tech, capitalist greed, and a very intelligent dog collide in reality defying chaos.
Meet Sheetal and Samiran, two-thirds of the 3 Techies Banter podcast, where sharp insights meet sharper wit, and irreverence is always welcome. Sheetal, a qualitative researcher, has mastered the art of making people share secrets while maintaining a strict vigil around all coffee shops around Shivaji Park. If human behaviour has a pattern or mysteries have a hiding spot she will — find it.
She keeps Mahim’s chaos and cosmic mysteries in perfect balance. Samiran exists in that twilight zone between Dadar and Prabhadevi, much like his existence between technology and mischief. He’s known for explaining quantum computing over cutting chai and bridging complex tech concepts with everyday life. His knack for connecting AI, history, and the supernatural could convince you that Mumbai’s local trains are makeshift time machines (which might explain their scheduling). Together, they’ve devoted countless hours to theorising about AI, ancient civilisations, and whether Mumbai’s pigeons are secret spies or just vada pav enthusiasts. This book marks their first literary adventure, where human behaviour study meets tech conspiracies in Mumbai’s rich, unpredictable chaos.
