Why I Wrote Ingenium?

Ingenium: Speculative Fiction on Human Evolution

In a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and heavily populated country, things are not predestined to be orderly. The fundamental anarchist ideology of India inspired me write a book on the reasons lurking behind the suffering chaotic society by following such principles. At one point I thought I will sell the book as a non-fiction, because the conversation between Ganesh and Ian Cockburn discussing the problems of the country and Ian’s philosophical solutions for the same became too lengthy to keep a light reader or a foreign reader interested. However, I edited it many times and shortened it as much as my conscience allowed me to and sold it as a fiction, because I needed to question the meaning of existence as a whole and question Ian’s theory itself.

Some of the ideas explained in the novel are based on psychoanalysis, quantum mechanics and Indian philosophy – The fields of study, I feel, is all humanity needs to study to determine the ever eluding truth of reality. Some of the explanations may appear silly to again a light reader, but on a deeper thought some may realize our existence is just as simple as that and yet so complicated.
