Backflap

Told through the voices of a 15-year-old in a burns ward, his mother and sister, this is a story about family, love and happiness, and the lies we tell ourselves to sustain them. The boy is tormented by the events that led him there. His mother and sister have their own versions of what happened. All of them are right, and yet, they are all guilty. But which of them is more guilty?

In a world where machines can learn, decide and simulate emotion, what remains uniquely human? And how do we strengthen that edge? Nitin Seth’s new book focuses on the trifecta of transformation: digital, data and AI. The author offers a framework that unlocks the core human strengths that will define success in these fastly changing times.
