Happiness 3.0: when Artificial Intelligence merges with Human Happiness
What does it mean to be happy in this era of Artificial Intelligence?
Does employing the standard ways of staying happy still work today, as it did a few decades back?
Is Artificial Intelligence changing our world view point subtly, changing the way we perceive and obtain Happiness?
This book takes a deep look at the questions above, and attempts to come up with thoughtful answers.
Synopsis
"The Empathy Engineer: A Colorless Love Story" is a testimonial to colorism faced by millions of dark-skinned Indian women who are given lower status in the Indian society. Irrespective of how an Indian woman carries herself, irrespective of her education, or class, or talent, or sheer beauty, the first thing that makes a woman 'acceptable' in the Indian society is her skin color.
Set in San Francisco and Kolkata, my novel is essentially a love story, but with colorism as a key theme, and, in parallel, a strong theme to pursue empathy in every interaction in our lives. I hope my voice makes you think about this deeply disturbing social issue.

Reviews
“I love reading foreign authors because there is a different kind of poetry to the words. This author is a storyteller. The love story was beautiful and kept me turning the pages. Can this be a movie, please?”
"A well-written page turner that is soon to become a modern day classic."
“I loved this romance novel as it offers so much more than the genre usually does.”
"If Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri was the most relate able transcontinental treatise for the first generation immigrants, the empathy engineer arouses similar nostalgia for my generation."
"The US is a cultural melting pot and we need more positive stories like this about enduring love and acceptance."
"The Empathy Engineer is a love story as well as a story about treating all of the people that we meet with dignity."
"A beautiful love story which highlights the themes of overcoming prejudice, self-reflection, and attaining love and respect in the universe."
"I also believe that this book can be easily adopted for a screenplay for a movie, which would be a hit with the Indian audience, considering love, acceptance and east/west interplay are such a big theme of many Bollywood movies."
"Beautiful story that really brings out human emotions."
"A beautiful love story that touches on prejudice and judgment, and the need for compassion, kindness and acceptance. A warm and wonderful message!"
