His wider work includes two novels, nearly fifty short fiction and literary essays, seven scholarly books, nearly a hundred peer-reviewed technical papers, and several patents in language technology. 

This website brings together Inderjeet Mani’s work across literature, language, history, and artificial intelligence. Readers interested in Sanskrit translation can explore his rendering of Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda in The Song of Love & Longing. Those interested in World War II history can find Captain Mani’s War, based on the frontline dispatches of PRS Mani when he was an embedded journalist serving in the 14th Army during the Japanese invasion and defeat in Manipur, India and then the pursuit through Burma and Malaya until the surrender in Singapore. The book then takes the reader to Indonesia, where he served in the Southeast Asia Command (SEAC) in Java.

Also included here are Mani’s fiction, from novels to short stories and literary essays, as well as his scholarship on computational narratology, NarrativeML, natural language processing, temporal representation, spatial language, automatic summarization, and generative AI. Additional pages collect reviews, interviews and news, talks, media appearances, letters, research papers, and archival material for readers, researchers, journalists, festival organizers, and anyone interested in the deeper connections between story, language, memory, and AI.
