Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from Stone Age to AI — Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from Stone Age to AI

₹950

From the author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world.For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age, through the canonization of the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems throughout history have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence. Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity.

The hippie trail a history — The hippie trail a history

₹599

This is the first history of the Hippie Trail. It records the joys and pains of budget travel to Kathmandu, India, Afghanistan and other 'points east' in the 1960s and 1970s. Written in a clear, simple style, it provides detailed analysis of the motivations and the experiences of hundreds of thousands of hippies who travelled eastwards. The book is structured around four key debates: were the travellers simply motivated by a search for drugs? Did they encounter love or sexual freedom on the road? Were they basically just tourists? Did they resemble pilgrims? It also considers how the travellers have been represented in films, novels and autobiographical accounts, and will appeal to those interested in the Trail or the 1960s counterculture, as well as students taking courses relating to the 1960s.

Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties — Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties

₹1300

A journalist's twenty-year obsession with the Manson murders brings shocking revelations about the most infamous crimes in American history: carelessness from police, misconduct by prosecutors, and even potential surveillance by intelligence agents. What really happened in 1969? In 1999, when Tom O'Neill was assigned a magazine piece about the thirtieth anniversary of the Manson murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Weren't the facts indisputable? Charles Manson had ordered his teenage followers to commit seven brutal murders, and in his thrall, they'd gladly complied. But when O'Neill began reporting the story, he kept finding holes in the prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's narrative, long enshrined in the best-selling Helter Skelter. Before long, O'Neill had questions about everything from the motive to the manhunt. Though he'd never considered himself a conspiracy theorist, the Manson murders swallowed the next two decades of his career. He was obsessed. Searching but never speculative, CHAOS follows O'Neill's twenty-year effort to rebut the "official" story behind Manson. Who were his real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties? Why didn't law enforcement act on their many chances to stop him? And how did he turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers? O'Neill's hunt for answers leads him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from the Summer of Love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with cover-ups and coincidences. Featuring hundreds of new interviews and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, CHAOS mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Stephen Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. In those two dark nights in Los Angeles, O'Neill finds the story of California in the sixties: when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia-or dystopia-was just an acid trip away

I AM GITA BY DEEP TRIVEDI - PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA — I AM GITA BY DEEP TRIVEDI - PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA

₹165

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA EXPLAINED LIKE NEVER BEFORE!Moments before the Mahabharata war, Arjuna says, ‘I don’t wish to slay my brothers or commit violence just to gain a kingdom; even the scriptures forbid this!’ Are you in agreement with Arjuna? Why did Krishna disagree with Arjuna? Did Krishna incite Arjuna to fight the war or did he show him the right path? Can there be valid reasons for committing violence and waging a war? Who is right—Krishna or Arjuna? Why did it take Krishna all of 18 chapters to convince Arjuna?Certainly, Gita is one but the questions are many! And Gita is the epitome of psychology, as Krishna is the first psychologist of human history; and it is spiritual psychology alone that can accurately answer all the questions related to mind and life. Yet, the psychological aspects of Gita have always been ignored.‘I am Gita’ is the first-ever book on Bhagavad Gita that elucidates the essence of all 700 shlokas along with its psychological and spiritual dimension in totality. In the book, Arjuna poses his questions in first person, and Krishna also answers in first person, which makes the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna come alive. Imparting the thrill of a story, the book, penned in a simple language, will help people of all age groups grasp the true essence of the Gita effortlessly.Deep Trivedi is the author of several bestsellers such as ‘I am Krishna’, ‘I am The Mind’, ‘Everything is Psychology’ and many more. He holds an international record for conducting 168 hours of workshops on the Bhagavad Gita. He has also been awarded with an Honorary Doctorate for his works on the psychology of Bhagavad Gita.This book is available in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati at leading book stores and e-commerce sites.

More than half a century of bloodshed has marked the history of the Naga people who live in the troubled northeastern region of India. Their struggle for an independent Nagaland and their continuing search for identity provides the backdrop for the stories that make up this unusual collection.

No one the young, the old, the ordinary housewife, the willing partner, the militant who takes to the gun, and the young woman who sings even as she is being raped is untouched by the violence. Theirs are the stories that form the subtext of the struggles that lie at the internal faultlines of the Indian nation-state. These are stories that speak movingly of home, country, nation, nationality, identity, and direct the reader to the urgency of the issues that lie at their heart.
