BOOK REVIEW :
What happens when a nation’s future teeters between dazzling economic growth and the unhealed wounds of social decay? MIЯЯЯO: at THÆŽ WÆŽIЯⱠWAYWAЯⱠby Manoj Kumar Sharma dives fearlessly into this duality, offering a speculative yet oddly believable portrayal of India in 2030.
Set in a near-future India on the brink of becoming a global superpower, the novel doesn’t bask in glory—instead, it reflects on the darker undercurrents that still plague society. From corruption and systemic hypocrisy to neglected social grievances, Sharma holds up a mirror (quite literally) to the nation’s flaws, and from that reflection, a new entity emerges—MIЯЯЯO.
What makes this book stand out is its daring narrative. MIЯЯЯO is not your typical hero—it’s an idea, a force, a philosophy that operates through unorthodox, almost anarchic methods. The solutions it offers are not just outside the box—they shatter the box completely. As a reader, you’ll either find yourself disturbed by the extremity of the approach or strangely intrigued by its brutal honesty.
The protagonist, like many of us, begins with noble dreams but is weighed down by personal failures. It is only through surrendering to an unlikely source—MIЯЯЯO—that he rediscovers purpose. The plot picks up steam as three major societal problems are addressed in radical, irreversible ways. And while these are fictional accounts, you can’t help but draw parallels with reality.
The language of the book is straightforward and accessible—ideal for readers new to the genre or those seeking complex themes in a digestible form. The time-framed narrative keeps things moving briskly, and having read the author’s previous works, I can say this third installment is just as sharp, provocative, and deeply reflective.
If you’re someone who enjoys dystopian narratives with a local flavor, or speculative fiction that dares to disturb, this one’s worth your shelf space. It’s not just a story—it’s a socio-political thought experiment wrapped in fantasy.
