4.0

The book is an amalgamation of diverse stories, plots, reflections, opinions; some connected and mostly random - exploring the themes of Human Anatomy, life in motion, travel psychology, migration, life, death and other transitions of twenty first century. What kept me going in this four hundred pages long book with tiny fonts, is the writing style which is so unique - like nothing that I have read before. Even though the work does not follow a single storyline, I couldn't put it down at any point, because the writing keeps the pages alive starting from the beginning till the very end.
