THREADS OF REALITY (Paperback, Rajesh Seshadri)

About The Book In the ancient heart of India, where myth and modernity inter- twine, inexplicable events cast long, disquieting shadows. A man is found drowned in his perfectly sealed, bone-dry Mumbai apart- ment. An alleged killer's alibi is ironclad, placing him 200 miles away from a brutal murder, yet the evidence points only to him. A reclusive billionaire's silent desert retreat becomes a tomb of serene, perfectly preserved bodies. And a diligent census official insists on counting non-corporeal residents' in the remote, mist-shrouded hills, against all official orders. These are not mere anomalies. They are intricate puzzles that draw in pragmatic detectives, insightful historians, shrewd scientists, and even diligent bureaucrats. From a Kolkata library where a ghost seems to utter uncanny truths about the future, to an immaculate stain that baffles forensic experts, or books that mysteriously vanish and reappear from private homes after purchase-each case defies conventional understanding, pushing the boundaries of the known. Elsewhere, unsettling echoes from the past seem to play on an end-less loop, and works of art don't just inspire, but profoundly alter perception, sometimes with terrifying consequences. What if the supernatural is merely highly advanced technology mas-querading as magic? What if identity can be replicated and memory rewritten with chilling precision? What if the profoundest peace promises a fatal end, or an algorithm can perfectly prove a lie? What if hidden entities are literally counted for the very balance of our world? Threads of Reality delves into a hidden India where groundbreaking bio-engineering, sophisticated surveillance, ancient, unwritten pacts, and the very fabric of time itself conspire to create illusions beyond our wildest imagination. Prepare to have your perceptions challenged, your beliefs unravelled, and your mind stretched to its limits, as every solution to these deep mysteries reveals a deeper, more astonishing layer of our world.
