Description

About the book

This book is a journey of man through life in our times. Life is more complex now than it was a few years ago. The Government wants information on every citizen. Companies likewise profile consumers targeting every individual consumer using the latest tools of Artificial Intelligence to almost force the consumer to purchase a brand.
In the larger social context, we see the emergence of leaders who wedge their family members into politics. Each state election sees a family owning the political face within that state. Media is a reflection of the same faces who hold the political reigns in their hands. Nationally the country is reduced to a two- member leadership team with unbridled powers. First it began with the Nehru Gandhi family who controlled the Congress Party as a Company. BJP followed suit. And in keeping with the times the same trend is seen in every state across the nation.
The book is an exploration of the benefits of Facelessness as opposed to the dangers of having an identity. And how a person treads the path of Facelessness to building an identity for himself. And in certain circumstances wishes he lost his identity and reverted to his character of facelessness.
