A recurrent debate surrounding AI concerns the extent of human work that could be replaced by machines over the next twenty years when compared to new jobs created by AI. Numerous reports have addressed this issue, reaching a wide range of conclusions. Experts consider it a reasonable consensus that eventually a significant portion of blue- and white-collar jobs in most industries will become obsolete, or at least transformed, to such an extent that workers will need re-education to remain viable. This percentage of vulnerable jobs will continue to increase over time. The obsolescence will be far worse in developing countries where the standard of education is lower.

The major parts of the book deals with Industrial Revolution 4.0, the phenomena of automation, and the reality that the majority of people around the world are becoming unemployed by their middle ages and grow resistant to upskilling are the main focus of this book.
Other parts are dealt with the social engineering practices used by big techs to distort free will and sell narratives en masse to implant modern day digital colonisation.
From Katopanishad the concept of Shreyas and preyas are incited and these Vedic terms means a choice between spiritual and material paths . In choosing Shreyas, one discovers one's own truth. In choosing preyas, one seeks sensual, carnal gratification that pulls one away from self. This criteria has been established for a long time through the school of logic in Indian philosophy to differentiate what is dharmic and what is not-dharmic for collective consciousness, so it is especially impressive that the book analyses A.I with human gratification to unravel the problem at hand. The author cites Bhartrhari's Nitishatakam and the Bhagavad Gita from a non-dual lens to make reader understand what is what in consecutive sections, It is easy to draw parallels between these texts for people who have already dealt with them to get the analogy that author tries to exhibit.
Once again, the author exposes the reader to the present political diaspora, as he did in his earlier work Breaking India, and this is a reinforcement and pushes his best to be conscious of the situation.
