Some books entertain you. Some provoke you. And then there are ones like Sacred Algorithms—books that linger long after you’ve closed the last page, demanding contemplation. @ekbanarasi0801 ‘s debut stands at the curious intersection of science fiction, Indian philosophy, and a psychological-spiritual thriller. It asks not just what the future of AI might look like, but what it means to be human in an age where intelligence may no longer be our exclusive domain. The story follows Dr Janmejay Singh, an acclaimed AI scientist returning to Varanasi after a personal tragedy. What begins like an emotional homecoming slowly transforms into a layered journey—through memory, logic, grief, and metaphysics. The ghats, the chaos of Banaras, the stillness of early mornings, childhood friendships, and the arrival of an enigmatic yogi create a backdrop that feels both cinematic and intimate. What’s fascinating is how seamlessly the narrative shifts gears. One chapter feels like a technological thriller—algorithms, prediction models, global AI networks. The next glide into Vedanta, consciousness, free will, and moksha. Yet the writing never becomes preachy or academic. Deep ideas bloom gently through dialogues, metaphors, and lived moments—like wisdom passed in whispers instead of lectures. The highlight of the book, arguably its intellectual heart, is The Ultimate Vimarsh, a simulated yet eerily believable dialogue between Jay and Cosmos-AI. It is chilling in its plausibility—discussing determinism, sentience, existence, and the limits of human governance over machine intelligence. What struck a chord with me in this book? It makes you think. Not fleetingly—but deeply. About power. About creation. About whether AI will amplify our wisdom or inherit our chaos. Bold and reflective, Sacred Algorithms is a book you don’t merely read; you experience.
