Review:
To begin with, the cover is very attractive and unique. I loved its concept and how it is made simple yet so attractive.
About the book? Have you ever read a book, for which every page is a wow for you? This book is that for me. Being a tech-lover this book was like amazinggg me. All the chapters had some or the other information which I was totally unaware of. The facts that can actually blow your mind. If I had to rate this book on the scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this book a 15. The author has described difficult and complex topics so easily and in such simple language, it rises the interest even more. Divided in 5 major parts, this book tries to cover all the aspects of modern technology. I could actually see the efforts and research the author might has done before writing this book.
If you love technology and really want to know where will man take us, you should read this book one. I highly love and recommend this book. It is surely getting added in my favourite book’s list.
