In the bustling nearfuture streets of Delhi, Echo Duniya unfolds where chai stalls, festivals, and crowded lanes meet luminous overlays of AI, quantum games, AR, VR, and IoT. Four friends stumble upon a mischievous app that transforms the city into a living playground, only to discover it conceals a vast intelligence and a quantum paradox at its core. As human lives intertwine with emergent minds, the novel asks profound questions: what does it mean to be conscious, to connect, and to care...

One question which, in its two simple words, holds the power of all curiosity, imagination and dreams...Just two words which clearly say that the world that we see is not all... that there is a wider, deeper world full of possibilities. Just two words which stir up all the could-be’s and should-be’s. Who wouldn’t be tempted to know what these words have to offer?But then, who knows which gates open when we chant the words…What if?

When impossible blueprints begin appearing in her system, patent consultant Priya Sharma's ordered life fractures. Designs stolen from parallel worlds pull her into a dangerous conspiracy: a secret organization collapsing timelines to forge a "Prime Reality." Priya discovers she is no ordinary target-she is a rare multiversal constant, identical across nearly every universe and essential to their plan. Guided by rebels, haunted by echoes of herself from dying worlds, and pursued by a relen...

A deep dive into the visual forms, material contexts, social lives, and global circulations of booksIn the twenty-first century, debates on the future of books and print culture have intensified with the rise of digital technologies, and the contemporary art world has witnessed an explosion of interest in the book form. Amid this artistic and intellectual activity, there has been little scrutiny of book arts in South Asia and their particular ontologies, histories,...

Natural language processing enables communication between people and computers as well as automatic translation to facilitate easy interaction with others around the world. This new volume focuses on natural language processing in conjunction with artificial intelligence and allied areas, discussing advanced applications, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information and how they are presented by language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). It looks at intel...

The artificial intelligence-based framework, algorithms, and applications presented in this book take the perspective of Society 5.0 – a social order supported by innovation in data, information, and knowledge. It showcases current case studies of Society 5.0 in diverse areas such as healthcare, smart cities, and infrastructure.Key Features:Elaborates on the use of big data, cyber-physical systems, robotics, augmented-virtual reality, and cybersecurity as pillars for ...

As societies become increasingly dependent on interconnected digital systems, ensuring their resilience and security is essential for economic stability, public trust, and continuity of critical services. Addressing evolving cyber threats, system failures, and data vulnerabilities helps protect sensitive information while enabling organizations to adapt and recover during disruptions. A multidisciplinary approach to secure digital ecosystems supports innovation without sacrificing reliabil...

Digital ecosystems form the backbone of modern societies, enabling innovation, connectivity, and efficiency across sectors such as cybersecurity, governance, education, healthcare, and supply chain management. At the same time, increasing digital dependence has intensified systemic vulnerabilities related to cyber threats, privacy erosion, governance failures, and operational fragility. Traditional approaches are no longer sufficient in environments characterized by complexity, interdepend...

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems confront the limits of classic computing, emerging models that integrate neuromorphic AI with quantum computing create a compelling path forward. Neuromorphic tools inspire the dynamics of the human brain, while quantum computing promises speedups for certain classes of complex optimization and probabilistic problems. By uniting these models, hybrid neuromorphic–quantum models aim to overcome efficiency and learning constraints that challenge each ap...

Since the pioneering work of Donald and his first Lancet paper in 1958, the use of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology has evolved rap idly. The introduction of grey scale techniques enhanced our ability to identify different tissues on the basis of their texture. However, it was the introduction of the linear array real-time scanner in the mid seven ties that changed ultrasound from being an "eccentric art form" to a readily available and usable technique. This led to the first repor...
