#qotd What would our future look like, according to you? Rise of the Tridevi by @nakulsardesai is an ambitious, high-concept work of fiction that attempts to stitch together Indian mythology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and geopolitics into a single, unsettling narrative. Set in a near-future India of 2025, the novel asks a chilling question: what happens when ancient consciousness begins to bleed into modern machines? At its core, the book follows three formidable women—Major Aaryaa Rana of the Cyber Intelligence Wing, quantum neuroscientist Dr. Vidya Iyer, and AI billionaire Anaya Kaul—each operating at the peak of her domain. What begins as parallel storylines slowly converges into a larger metaphysical conflict that spans Delhi, Bengaluru, Myanmar, Amarkantak, and astral planes beyond empirical science. The plot is layered rather than linear. Cyber warfare, anomalous brain patterns, and rogue AI systems are not just plot devices but gateways to something far older and darker. The infusion of Indian mythological elements—particularly the idea of the Tridevi—feels purposeful rather than ornamental. Ancient forces are not romanticised; they are unsettling, morally complex, and often indifferent to human intent. One of the book’s strongest assets is its crisp, power-packed prose. The writing is evocative—there is little indulgence, yet the atmosphere remains dense and foreboding. The author understands restraint, allowing tension to accumulate gradually rather than relying on constant escalation. This book is ideal for readers of mythological fiction with a modern or futuristic lens, fans of speculative science fiction rooted in non-Western philosophies, and those interested in AI ethics, consciousness studies, and digital futures. It will particularly resonate with readers seeking strong, complex female protagonists who move beyond familiar archetypes. Rise of the Tridevi is a thought-provoking, genre-blending work that dares to imagine India’s digital future as inseparable from its mythic past
