This is my recent read and I've loved this so much.
The book is “origin” by Dan Brown. I have written about it in my last blog in my must read recommendations.. Check out that blog if u haven't.
So, origin is one of Dan Brown 's recent release and is completely relatable! That too I being in IT field I could completely relate to the book.. The story revolves around Edmund Chris a futurist, Computer analyst, who starts questioning about the origin and descend of species.. He collected resources from all over the world for years, though being an atheist he also did research about this origin and descend of species with regard to each religion. He met all the religious leaders of the world and came to a conclusion of presenting his research to the entire world for the betterment of humans. He did it long before as he had planned owing to his illness and he was counting his days.. So for the huge day of his life he invited his professor Robert Langdon too for the presentation, as he considered him as his Inspiration and also well wisher and good friend. So few hours before the event Edmund called out Robert through an AI that was talking through a headphones, describing the place they were which apparently was an art museum.
Mused at the artistic work, Robert went to meet Edmund at a place which was not for public view at the museum. There Edmund said, he has risked his life to make this presentation and hopes for the good, and also gives an address to meet him after the event.. Saying so.. Edmund leaves the place. Wondering of his strange behavior.,Robert made his way to the main ha with the help of AI.
He was also amused of how efficient the AI, Winston was and how well Edmund had designed it. The AI, Winston, spoke to each and every guest ever present in their own regional language at the same time that too in a human tone! The AI also said that it had been managing all of Edmund ‘s both personal and professional life, and is now helping him In conducting the event! Completely baffled by the AI’ s response, SLangdon reached the main hall where the presentation was a world premiere.. Initially though it was Edmund ‘s voice, Robert Langdon too featured in the presentation where he had given some Input for this presentation!. Layer only he raised it was the ideas he gave when they last met at a restaurant. Ongoing with the presentation, Robert Langdon witnessed the hardworking and research Edmund had made to make this. Then was the spotlight where stood Edmund, still in his expression, but continued to explain. Suddenly Robert Langdon heard a voice, the voice was of the AI, it said it had found someone inside who is not of the guest list and might be of harm.when Robert rushed to convey this to Edmund there was the shot of a gun whose bullet hit Edmund straight in his head. Situation tensed as the host of the day was fiancé of the county ’s head.! Robert and her together make a vow to premiere this presentation again for his best student Edmund. Will they succeed? Read the book to know the interesting yet rentable plot twists, with a beautiful blend of science and literature! This is definitely one of the best reads I've had!
